去中心化金融平台依赖于信任网络来缓解缺乏中心化身份验证时的对手风险。然而,这些伪名网络容易受到恶意行为的攻击,如Sybil攻击和伪装欺诈,即恶意参与者在实施退出诈骗前建立虚假声誉。传统异常检测面临两大局限:一是依赖简单的统计启发式方法(例如标记评分最低的5%用户),无法区分被恶意诋毁的受害者与真正的欺诈者;二是标准图神经网络(GNN)基于同质性假设,难以有效处理带符号(信任/不信任)和有向(状态)边中的语义反转问题。本文提出TAS-GNN(拓扑感知签名图神经网络),一种专为特征稀疏的签名网络(如Bitcoin-Alpha)设计的新框架。TAS-GNN融合递归信任网络标注与双通道消息传递架构,分别建模信任与不信任信号,并通过状态感知注意力机制进行融合。实验表明,TAS-GNN在性能上达到当前最佳水平,显著优于现有的签名GNN基线模型。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Decentralized financial platforms rely heavily on Web of Trust reputation systems to mitigate counterparty risk in the absence of centralized identity verification. However, these pseudonymous networks are inherently vulnerable to adversarial behaviors, such as Sybil attacks and camouflaged fraud, where malicious actors cultivate artificial reputations before executing exit scams. Traditional anomaly detection in this domain faces two critical limitations. First, reliance on naive statistical heuristics (e.g., flagging the lowest 5% of rated users) fails to distinguish between victims of bad-mouthing attacks and actual fraudsters. Second, standard Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) operate on the assumption of homophily and cannot effectively process the semantic inversion inherent in signed (trust vs. distrust) and directed (status) edges. We propose TAS-GNN (Topology-Aware Signed Graph Neural Network), a novel framework designed for feature-sparse signed networks like Bitcoin-Alpha. TAS-GNN integrates recursive Web-of-Trust labeling and a dual-channel message-passing architecture that separately models trust and distrust signals, fused through a Status-Aware Attention mechanism. Experiments demonstrate that TAS-GNN achieves state-of-the-art performance, significantly outperforming existing signed GNN baselines.
