چکیده
In this paper we propose an e-commerce protocol with the following features: (1) ensures true fair exchange, (2) does not require manual dispute resolution in case of unfair behavior by any party, (3) does not require the active involvement of a trusted third party, (4) allows the customer to verify that the product he is about to receive is the one he is paying for, and (5) can be used for the fair exchange of any two digital items.

An Optimistic NBAC-Based Fair Exchange Method for Arbitrary Items
Fair exchange protocols are important in realizing safe electronic commerce. In particular, optimistic fair exchange protocols, which involve a trusted third party only when mutual communication between exchanging parties fails, are the most promising development because of their efficiency. Unfortunately, however, existing optimistic protocols place restrictions on the items that can be exchan...

This problem has motivated researchers to propose fair-exchange protocols based on using an on-line trusted third party; the third party receives the items being exchanged from the customer and the merchant and then forwards it to the other party in a fair manner. However, the third party is a...

متن کاملOptimistic Fair Exchange Protocol for E-Commerce
For e-commerce payments, fair exchange is one of the essential problems. The optimistic fair exchange protocol allows two parties to efficiently exchange items so that either each party gets the other’s item or neither does. We propose a new optimistic fair exchange protocol that is efficient and applicable to any digital signature scheme such as RSA or DSA. In our protocol, we introduce pre-si...

Fair exchange protocols allow both or neither of two parties to obtain the other’s items, and this property is essential in e-commerce. In this paper, we construct an optimistic fair exchange protocol that is applicable to any digital signature by prescribing three forms of signatures, namely presignature, post-signature and notarised signature. We set an expiration date for presignature, and t...
