A Privacy-Preserving Ticketing System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electronic identity (eID) cards are deployed in an increasing number of countries. These cards often provide digital authentication and digital signature capabilities, but have at the same time serious privacy shortcomings. We can expect that ordering and issuing tickets for events (e.g. soccer matches) will be increasingly done using eID cards, hence, severely threatening the user’s privacy. This paper proposes two alternative ticketing systems that are using the eID card in a bootstrap procedure, but still are providing a high degree of privacy to the user.

Considering Context in Mobile Ticketing
This paper discusses the role of context in a mobile ticketing system for public transport. Although context-awareness in this domain promises benefits such as simplified and smarter usersystem interaction, the context of telecommunication services raises issues of security and privacy. We present a system architecture utilizing a privacy enhancing protocol that allows secure exchange of sensit...
متن کاملPrivacy-preserving E-ticketing Systems for Public Transport Based on RFID/NFC Technologies
Pervasive digitization of human environment has dramatically changed our everyday lives. New technologies which have become an integral part of our daily routine have deeply affected our perception of the surrounding world and have opened qualitatively new opportunities. In an urban environment, the influence of such changes is especially tangible and acute. For example, ubiquitous computing (a...
متن کاملOn Protection of the User's Privacy in Ubiquitous E-ticketing Systems based on RFID and NFC Technologies
The issues of customer privacy in e-ticketing systems for public transport based on RFID/NFC technologies are addressed in this paper. More specifically, having described the target system, the specific privacy threats are identified and respectively classified. This is performed by analyzing the system under concern against the specifically defined privacy properties (pseudonymity, confidentia...
متن کاملPassengers information in public transport and privacy: Can anonymous tickets prevent tracking?
Modern public transportation companies often record large amounts of information. Privacy can be safeguarded by discarding nominal tickets, or introducing anonymization techniques. But is anonymity at all possible when everything is recorded? In this paper we discuss travel information management in the public transport scenario and we present a revealing case study (relative to the city of Ces...
متن کاملA Privacy-preserving Architecture for Ubiquitous Public Transport Systems based on E-ticketing
In this paper, we present a privacy-preserving architecture for a public transport system. The Transport Authority (TA) is prevented from learning e-ticket IDs and operates only on pseudonyms created by a trusted third party (TTP). Furthermore, the widely distributed terminals are prevented from tracking valid e-tickets during validation. Mutual authentication between terminals and e-tickets is...
