Anti-Counterfeit Scheme Using Monte Carlo Simulation for E-commerce in Cloud Systems

Abstract

E-commerce using cloud-based trading platforms has become a popular approach with the growth of global development in recent years. However, the existence of counterfeits on the platform has threatened the benefits of all stakeholders. This paper proposes a novel scheme named Anti-Counterfeit Deterministic Prediction Model (ADPM), which is designed for detecting counterfeits by using Monte Carlo Model (MCM) to predict the potential malicious information in e-commerce. We consider the discriminations of the fake merchandises a crucial issue in preventing counterfeits on the online business platforms. The proposed mechanism provides a paradigm of machine-learning with using a novel algorithm that derives from MCM. The main algorithm used in our proposed mechanism is Monte Carlo Model-based Prediction Analysis Algorithm (M-PAA). Our experiment has evaluated that the proposed approach can provision the predictions of the insecure information in e-commerce.
