Secure Group Barter: Multi-party Fair Exchange with Semi-Trusted Neutral Parties

چکیده
The recent surge in popularity of e-commerce prompted a lot of activity in the area of electronic payments. Solutions have been developed for cash, credit card and check-based electronic transactions. Much less attention has been paid to non-monetary commerce such as barter. In this paper we discuss the notion of \secure group barter" or multi-party fair exchange. We develop a classiication of types of barter schemes and present new cryptographic protocols for multi-party exchange with fairness. These protocols assume the presence of a \semi-trusted neutral party".

A traceable optimistic fair exchange protocol in the standard model
An Optimistic Fair Exchange (OFE) protocol is a good way for two parties to exchange their digital items in a fair way such that at the end of the protocol execution, both of them receive their items or none of them receive anything. In an OFE protocol there is a semi-trusted third party, named arbitrator, which involves in the protocol if it is necessary. But there is a security problem when a...
متن کاملOptimally Efficient Multi-Party Fair Exchange and Fair Secure Multi-Party Computation
Multi-party fair exchange (MFE) and fair secure multi-party computation (fair SMPC) are under-studied fields of research, with practical importance. We examine MFE scenarios where every participant has some item, and at the end of the protocol, either every participant receives every other participant’s item, or no participant receives anything. This is a particularly hard scenario, even though...
متن کاملA Fair-Exchange Protocol Based on Off-line Semi-Trusted Third Party
The fairness of data exchange becomes a key factor for the transaction over the Internet. To ensure the fairness of data exchange, the protocol needs a trusted third party be a judge when the dispute occurs, and has to give a guarantee to main parties during the data exchange. To eliminate the third party’s connectional time and enhance its security, a fair-exchange protocol based on off-line s...

Secure sum computation of private data inputs is an important component of Secure Multi-party Computation (SMC).In this paper we provide a protocol to compute the sum of individual data inputs with zero probability of data leakage. In our proposed protocol we break input of each party into number of segments and change the arrangement of the parties such that in each round of the computation th...
