Trust Score Determination Using Peer-to-Peer Interaction
Grigoryan, Alex; Gangadharan, Avinash; Peshave, Akshay; Morgan, Michael; Howell, Rhys
ABSTRACT : A system and method for
determining confidence scores for accounts based on peer-to-peer interactions. One or more clustering
algorithms are applied to a database of peer-to-peer interactions to identify and group related peer-to-peer
interactions. A classifying algorithm is applied to a group resulting from the one or more clustering
algorithms that classifies each peer-to-peer interaction within the group based on one or more relationships
between the peer-to-peer interactions with the group. A score is provided to each transaction in the group
based at least in part on the classification. The system uses the score to change functionality of at least
one of the accounts associated with one of the transactions and/or provides information regarding the
trustworthiness of a user of an account.
