Direct reciprocity means that individuals use their own experience to decide whether to cooperate with another person. Indirect reciprocity means that they also consider the experiences of others. Although these two mechanisms are intertwined, they are typically studied in isolation. Here, we introduce a mathematical framework that allows us to explore both kinds of reciprocity simultaneously. We show that the well-known ‘generous tit-for-tat’ strategy of direct reciprocity has a natural analogue in indirect reciprocity, which we call ‘generous scoring’. Using an equilibrium analysis, we characterize under which conditions either of the two strategies can maintain cooperation. With simulations, we additionally explore which kind of reciprocity evolves when members of a population engage in social learning to adapt to their environment. Our results draw unexpected connections between direct and indirect reciprocity while highlighting important differences regarding their evolvability. https://research-explorer.ista.ac.at/record/9402 https://research-explorer.ista.ac.at/download/9402/14496 eng Springer Nature info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1038/s41562-021-01114-8 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/issn/2397-3374 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/wos/000650304000002 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/pmid/33986519 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/863818 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP7/279307 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Schmid L, Chatterjee K, Hilbe C, Nowak MA.

There are currently many proposals for protocols (like the “decentralized” DP-3T and PACT or the “centralized” ROBERT and DESIRE) to be run on mobile phones, where the basic idea is to regularly broadcast (using low energy Bluetooth) some values, and at the same time store (a function of) incoming messages broadcasted by users in their proximity. In the existing proposals one can trigger false positives on a massive scale by an “inverse-Sybil” attack, where a large number of devices (malicious users or hacked phones) pretend to be the same user, such that later, just a single person needs to be diagnosed (and allowed to upload) to trigger an alert for all users who were in proximity to any of this large group of devices. We propose the first protocols that do not succumb to such attacks assuming the devices involved in the attack do not constantly communicate, which we observe is a necessary assumption. The high level idea of the protocols is to derive the values to be broadcasted by a hash chain, so that two (or more) devices who want to launch an inverse-Sybil attack will not be able to connect their respective chains and thus only one of them will be able to upload. Our protocols also achieve security against replay, belated replay, and one of them even against relay attacks. https://research-explorer.ista.ac.at/record/9826 eng Springer Nature info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1007/978-3-030-75539-3_17 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/issn/03029743 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/issn/16113349 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/isbn/9783030755386 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/665385 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/682815 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Auerbach B, Chakraborty S, Klein K, et al.
