摘要

A system including a user looking for a candidate user for a telematic operation or transaction within a distributed reputation system; making, in addition to requests for information about reputation to trusted users, other requests for information on reputation to the very candidates, such that the selected candidate is selected because the candidate has a criterion of reputation over the other users that is as similar as possible to that of the user who is searching for a candidate. According to the method, a block of reputation-related data is included in a data-collection step, based on the similarity of reputation-related criteria between a user searching for candidates for an operation and the candidates.
