SVP: A Flexible Micropayment Scheme
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a cheap micropayment scheme based on reasonable requirements. It is exible in the sense that many security options are possible depending on the policy of the involved participants. We avoid large data storage, heavy computations. The scheme is software based for the user and hardware based for the service provider. Possibilities of having software-based solution for both are also presented.

Micropayments for Wireless Communications
Electronic payment systems for wireless devices need to take into account the limited computational and storage ability of such devices. Micropayment schemes seem well suited to this scenario since they are specifically designed for efficient operation. Most micropayment schemes require a digital signature and therefore users must support public key operations and, furthermore, a public key inf...
متن کاملImproved Probabilistic Micropayment Scheme
Micropayment schemes are recently considered to have a variety of practical applications. Such kind of schemes handle a sequence of very small payments which therefore should be quite efficient to be payed and verified. An electronic lottery ticket scheme was proposed by Rivest as a means of probabilistic micropayment scheme in order to reduce the administrative cost of the bank. In this paper,...
متن کاملVulnerabilities in the Adachi-Aoki-Komano-Ohta Micropayment Scheme
Rivest and Shamir presented two simple micropayment schemes, “PayWord” and “MicroMint,” for making small purchases over the Internet [14]. Recently, Adachi et al. have pointed out that the PayWord scheme has two security problems, and proposed a new micropayment scheme to overcome these problems [1]. Nevertheless, we show that their protocol is still vulnerable to impersonation and replay attacks.
متن کاملNew Micropayment Schemes Based on PayWords
This paper proposes three new micropayment schemes based on hashing and salting techniques. These schemes add signiicant features to the PayWord scheme proposed earlier by Rivest and Shamir. The scheme SPayWord introduces a salt into the payment process which makes the scheme more secure with smaller PayWords. The scheme UP-ayWord removes the constraint of the original PayWord scheme which requ...
متن کاملSpending Programs: A Tool for Flexible Micropayments
Micropayments are electronic payments of small amount. Given their low value, the cost of the corresponding electronic transactions should also be kept low. Current micropayment schemes allow a regular amount of money withdrawn from a bank to be split into fixedvalue coupons, each of which is used for one micropayment. A more flexible mechanism is proposed in this paper, whereby coupons of vari...
