In this paper we propose a reputation management framework for large-scale peer-to-peer (P2P) networks, wherein all nodes are assumed to behave selfishly. The proposed framework has several advantages. It enables a form of virtual currency, such that the reputation of nodes is a measure of their wealth. The framework is scalable and provides protection against attacks by malicious nodes. The above features are achieved by developing trusted communities of nodes whose members trust each other and cooperate to deal with the problem of nodes? selfishness and possible maliciousness.
