Abstract :
In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of an online feedback system. By employing a simple anonymous authentication mechanism, the developed system prevents Sybil attacks and maintains the anonymity of the evaluator even against an abusive authority that has access to the evaluation servers. The developed system is generic enough, user friendly and allows the administrator to change the evaluation form to fit the assessment of essentially any type of function or performance.
