Every activity has some risk involved in it. Analyzing the risk involved in a transaction is important to decide whether to proceed with the transaction or not. Similarly in peer-to-peer communication analyzing the risk involved in undertaking a transaction with another peer too is important. It would be much easier for the trusting peer to make a decision of proceeding a transaction with the trusted peer if he knows the risk that the trusted peer is worthy of. In this paper we develop and propose such a methodology which allows the trusting peer to rate the trusted peer in terms of risk that he deserves after the transaction is over.
