Sybilproof Reputation Mechanisms contains the relevant methodology to evaluate.

Other interesting papers:

• A Survey of Solutions to the Sybil Attack
• Reputation Mechanisms - game-theoretic study
• VoteTrust: Leveraging Friend Invitation Graph to Defend against Social Network Sybils: interesting tangent with a slightly more complicated design of what we're doing with EBSL - uses weighted votes, and an acceptance threshold function (akin to g(x)).
• Hitting time - another reputation mechanism.

Beginning to see the main strands of research coming out:

• flow-based, subjective logic
• modelling trust/reputation as a value vs rank.
• analysing Sybil attacks in terms of graphs and maximising the value of the reputation function
