Enabling Trustworthy Service Evaluation in Service-Oriented Mobile Social Networks

ENABLING TRUSTWORTHY SERVICE EVALUATION IN SERVICE-ORIENTED MOBILE SOCIAL NETWORKS

ABSTRACT:

In this paper, we propose a Trustworthy Service Evaluation (TSE) system to enable users to share service reviews in service-oriented mobile social networks (S-MSNs). Each service provider independently maintains a TSE for itself, which collects and stores users’ reviews about its services without requiring any third trusted authority. The service reviews can then be made available to interested users in making wise service selection decisions. We identify three unique service review attacks, i.e., linkability, rejection, and modification attacks, and develop sophisticated security mechanisms for the TSE to deal with these attacks. Specifically, the basic TSE (bTSE) enables users to distributedly and cooperatively submit their reviews in an integrated chain form by using hierarchical and aggregate signature techniques. It restricts the service providers to reject, modify, or delete the reviews. Thus, the integrity and authenticity of reviews are improved. Further, we extend the bTSE to a Sybil-resisted TSE (SrTSE) to enable the detection of two typical sybil attacks. In the SrTSE, if a user generates multiple reviews toward a vendor in a predefined time slot with different pseudonyms, the real identity of that user will be revealed. Through security analysis and numerical results, we show that the bTSE and the SrTSE effectively resist the service review attacks and the SrTSE additionally detects the Sybil attacks in an efficient manner. Through performance evaluation, we show that the bTSE achieves better performance in terms of submission rate and delay than a service review system that does not adopt user cooperation.

EXISTING SYSTEM:

SERVICE-ORIENTED mobile social networks (S-MSNs) are emerging social networking platforms over which one or more individuals are able to communicate with local service providers using handheld wireless communication devices such  smartphones. In the S-MSNs, service providers (restaurants and grocery stores) offer locationbased services to local users and aim to attract the users by employing various advertising approaches, for example, sending e-flyers to the nearby passengers via wireless connections. Unlike the global counterparts, the interests of the local service providers are in serving the users in close geographic vicinity because most users choose services based on the comparison of the service quality and the distance advantage. In the S-MSNs, to establish the trust

relations between the service providers and the users is particularly important. With a higher reputation, a service provider is more likely to be chosen by the users. However, the S-MSNs are autonomous and distributed networks where no third trusted authority exists for bootstrapping the trust relations. Therefore, for the users in the S-MSNs, how to enable the trust evaluation of the service providers is a challenging problem.

DISADVANTAGES OF EXISTING SYSTEM:

·       Vendors are required to manage reviews for themselves.

·       Malicious users can leave false negative reviews or drop the reviews from others to decrease the reputation of some particular vendors.

PROPOSED SYSTEM:

Trustworthy service evaluation (TSE) systems enable service providers or any third trusted authority to receive user feedback, known as service reviews or simply reviews, such as compliments and complaints about their services or products. By using the TSE, the service providers learn the service experiences of the users and are able to improve their service strategy in time. In addition, the collected reviews can be made available to the public, which enhances service advertising and assists the users in making wise service selections. The TSE is often maintained by a third trusted authority who is trusted to host authentic reviews. Popular TSE can be found in webbased social networks such as Facebook and online stores like eBay. They are important marketing tools for service providers who target the global market. In this paper, We move the TSE into the S-MSN settings. We require service providers to maintain the TSE by themselves. In the meantime, we consider the users participate in the TSE in a cooperative manner. We will study possible malicious behaviors conducted by the service providers and the users. For ease of presentation, we refer to service providers as vendors in the sequel.

ADVANTAGES OF PROPOSED SYSTEM:

·       It identify three unique review attacks, i.e., review linkability attack, review rejection attack, and review modification attack in the bTSE.

·       It third trusted authority to receive user feedback.
