Abstract

A fair non-repudiation protocol with many off-line TTPs is proposed.In contrast to the previous protocols,it diverts one TTP's task to t TTP,and decreases the dependence of the protocol to one TTP.It can test dishonest TTPs,and it realizes TTP's transparency.

Generic non-repudiation protocols supporting transparent off-line TTP

Guilin Wang

A non-repudiation protocol enables the fair exchange of an electronic message and an irrefutable digital receipt between two mistrusting parties over the Internet. That is, at the end of any execution instance of such a protocol, either both parties obtain their expected items or neither party does . In this paper, we first argue that it is really meaningful in practice to exploit generic fair non-repudiation protocols with transparent off-line trusted third party (TTP). Namely, in those protocols, each involved party could use any secure digital signature algorithm to produce non-repudiation evidences; and the issued evidences are the same regardless of whether the TTP is involved or not. Then, we present such a fair non-repudiation protocol to overcome some limitations and shortcomings in previous schemes. Technical discussions are provided to show that our protocol is not only secure but also the most efficient solution, compared with existing non-repudiation protocols. In addition, some potential extensions are also pointed out.

Non-repudiation protocol based on conditional trusted third party

Chun Chen

The idea of TTP was developed on the basis semi-trusted TTP. The term of conditional trusted third means that on the condition of third party satisfying the pre-conditions, if he behaves right, then he is trusted, else his behavior can be checked by participators of the protocol. A new protocol adopting off-line and TTP was put forward. Compared with available non-repudiation protocols, this one progresses further in reducing intervention of TTP in fair exchange.

An Optimistic Non-repudiation Protocol Focused on Transparent Trusted Third Party

Qiang Li, Kaigui Wu, Fang Li

Non-repudiation service is widely employed in information exchange and online transaction. It requires that its participants are unable to deny their involvement in specific protocol. At the same time, the service should keep fairness, which means that no one could take any advantages over the other one. Researchers have introduced a trusted third party (TTP) to realize these demands. Protocols are grouped into several categories according to the degree of TTP's involvement in protocols. Optimistic non-repudiation protocol is the most important method undoubtedly owe to its lower TTP's involvement. There are two questions. One is that whether it is possible to further decrease TTP's involvement or not. A computable optimistic non-repudiation protocol seems to be a good improvement. This is also our paper's basic protocol. The other question is about whether two types of finally evidences that produced by participants (here is Alice and Bob, and we denote this type evidences as the first type evidences) and TTP (or with the help of TTP, and we demote this type evidences as the second type evidences) are identical. If both types of evidences are not exactly the same, then it shows that TTP has taken part in process of protocol. Thus, it is certain that either participants behaved dishonest, or network went wrong. Participants' prestige will be negatively affected more or less. On the contrary, if two types of evidences are identical, then such feelings will be eliminated. This kind of TTP is called transparent TTP. In this paper, we have accomplished an optimistic non-repudiation protocol with the help of transparent TTP based on a computable non-repudiation protocol.

An efficient non-repudiation protocol

Jianying Zhou, Dieter Gollmann

Fairness may be a desirable property of a non-repudiation service. Protocols can achieve fairness through the involvement of a trusted third party but the extent of the trusted third party's involvement can vary between protocols. Hence, one of the goals of designing an efficient non-repudiation protocol is to reduce the workload of the trusted third party. In this paper, we present a variant of our fair non-repudiation protocol (1996), where the trusted third party is involved only in the case that one party cannot obtain the expected non-repudiation evidence from the other party. This variant is efficient in an environment where the two parties are likely to resolve communications problems between themselves.

An undeniable cryptographic protocol for both thesender and the receiver

Jianzhong Zhang

We survey the state of non-repudiation cryptographic protocols, almost all of which have weaknesses. The paper proposes a perfect protocol which can be used to realize the strong fairness and non-repudiation of both parties even if the channels are not reliable. Usually the protocol only needs three interactions of participants and the transferring data remain confidential for others but the sender and the receiver, who are unknown to others. The Trusted Third Party(TTP) acts as a notary rather than a delivery and its bottleneck problem is solved completely. Finally the security of the protocol is analysed in detail.
