A Fair-Exchange Protocol Based on Off-line Semi-Trusted Third Party
نویسنده
چکیده
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 semi-trusted third party has presented in this paper. The protocol employs an off-line semi-trusted third party, where a flexible method for selecting a semi-trusted third party is proposed. Also, the proposed protocol is extended to Web services so that it can be used for main parties in different platforms.

Fair Exchange of Digital Signatures using RSA-based CEMBS and Offline STTP
One of the essential security services needed to safeguard online transactions is fair exchange. In fair exchange protocols two parties can exchange their signatures in a fair manner, so that either each party gain the other’s signature or no one obtain anything useful. This paper examines security solutions for achieving fair exchange. It proposes new security protocols based on the "Certified...
متن کاملA Multi-party Optimistic Non-repudiation Protocol
In this paper we consider the optimistic approach of the non-repudiation protocols. We study a non-repudiation protocol with off-line trusted third party and we keep on with the definition of the multi-party non-repudiation, compare it to multi-party fair exchange and show some fundamental differences between these two problems. Finally, we generalize our protocol and propose a multi-party non-...
متن کاملPractical Implementations of a Non-disclosure Fair Contract Signing Protocol
Contract signing is a practical application of the fair exchange of digital signatures. This application used to be realized by directly adopting the results of the fair exchange of signatures, which do not completely meet the requirements of the signing of a secret contract. The assistance of a trusted third party (TTP) and some cryptographic technology are required to allow two parties to exc...
متن کاملOptimistic Fair Exchange Based on Publicly Verifiable Secret Sharing
In this paper we propose an optimistic two-party fair exchange protocol which does not rely on a centralized trusted third party. Instead, the fairness of the protocol relies on the honesty of part of the neighbor participants. This new concept, which is based on a generic verifiable secret sharing scheme, is particularly relevant in networks where centralized authority can neither be used on-l...
متن کاملA 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...
