An Efficient Non-repudiation Protocol

چکیده
Fairness may be a desirable property of a nonrepudiation service. Protocols can achieve fairness through the involvement of a trusted third party but the extent of the trusted third party's involvement can vary between protocols. Hence, one of the goals of designing an efficient non-repudiation protocol is to reduce the work load of the trusted third party. In this paper we present a variant of our fair non-repudiation protocol [15], where the trusted third party will be involved only in case that one party cannot obtain the expected non-repudiation evidence from the other party. This variant is efficient in an environment where the two parties are likely to resolve communications problems between themselves.

The wireless communication with delivering variety of services to users is growing rapidly in recent years. The third generation of cellular networks (3G), and local wireless networks (WLAN) are the two widely used technologies in wireless networks. 3G networks have the capability of covering a vast area; while, WLAN networks provide higher transmission rates with less coverage. Since the two n...

For portable communication systems, the delegation-based authentication protocol provides efficient subsequent login authentication, data confidentiality, user privacy protection, and non-repudiation. However, in all proposed protocols, the non-repudiation of mobile users is based on an unreasonable assumption that home location registers are always trusted. To weaken this assumption and enhanc...

In this paper we consider a new and efficient optimistic nonrepudiation protocol. In a non-repudiation protocol, during which Alice wants to transmit a message to Bob, Alice has to send a non-repudiation of origin evidence to Bob (attesting that Alice is at the origin of the transmitted message), and Bob has to send a non-repudiation of receipt evidence to Alice (attesting Bob’s receipt of the ...
متن کاملGeneric Fair Non-Repudiation Protocols with Transparent Off-line TTP
A non-repudiation protocol is aimed for exchanging a digital message and an irrefutable receipt between two mistrusting parties over the Internet. Such a protocol is said fair, if at the end of any possible protocol execution, either both parties obtain their expected items or neither party does. In this paper, we first argue that it is really meaningful in practice to exploit generic fair non-...

A non-repudiation protocol enables the fair exchange of an electronic message and an irrefutable digital receipt between two mistrusting parties over the Internet. That is, at the end of any execution instance of such a protocol, either both parties obtain their expected items or neither party does. In this paper, we first argue that it is really meaningful in practice to exploit generic fair n...
