reputation service

  

Length: Minimum of 600 words

Briefly respond to all the following questions. Make sure to explain and backup your responses with facts and examples. This assignment should be in APA format and have to include at least two references.

As you consider the reputation service and the needs of customers or individual consumers, as well as, perhaps, large organizations that are security conscious like our fictitious enterprise, Digital Diskus, what will be the expectations and requirements of the customers? Will consumers’ needs be different from those of enterprises? Who owns the data that is being served from the reputation service? In addition, what kinds of protections might a customer expect from other customers when accessing reputations?
