Micro-Payments based on iKP
نویسندگان
چکیده
Micro-payments are payments too small in amount to warrant the overhead costs of current nancial clearing networks. Furthermore one can expect that content servers for the global information infrastructure (GII) will have to process so many of these low value transactions that computationally complex and costly cryptographic protocols will be impractical. This report proposes a micro-payment scheme that can be bootstrapped with the already well-known payment protocols for larger amounts, but does not depend on them for each micro-transaction. Special attention is given to its integration into IBM's Internet Keyed Payment Systems (iKP).

متن کاملiKP - A Family of Secure Electronic Payment Protocols
This paper proposes a family of protocols { iKP (i = 1; 2; 3) { for secure electronic payments over the Internet. The protocols implement credit card-based transactions between the customer and the merchant while using the existing nancial network for clearing and authorization. The protocols can be extended to apply to other payment models, such as debit cards and electronic checks. They are b...

متن کاملIKP: Turning a PKI Around with Blockchains
Man-in-the-middle attacks in TLS due to compromised CAs have been mitigated by log-based PKI enhancements such as Certificate Transparency. However, these log-based schemes do not offer sufficient incentives to logs and monitors, and do not offer any actions that domains can take in response to CA misbehavior. We propose IKP, a blockchain-based PKI enhancement that offers automatic responses to...
