A fair multi-party exchange protocol with theoff-line trusted third party

Abstract

The difference between the fair exchange protocols and the non-repudiation protocols is proposed. Based on the publicly verifiable secret sharing scheme and group encryption scheme, a new multi-party fair exchagne protocol with an off-line semi-Trusted Third Party(off-STTP) is presented. The off-STTP who need not be completely trusted intervenes into the exchange in case of trouble. That the off-STTP can only decipher a sub-secret key makes sure the confidentiality of exchange data and the true fairness of the barter. The participants can barter with others at their will and the exchange topology is unknown to others including the off-STTP.

Multi-party fair exchange protocol with an Off-line Semi-Trust Third Party

Yang Zhao, Zhiguang Qin, Tian Lan +2 more

A multi-party fair exchange protocol is a cryptographic protocol allowing several parties to exchange electronic items in such a way that everyone gives an item away if and only if it receives an item in return. In this paper, we present a new multi-party fair exchange protocol with an Off-line Semi-Trust Third Party (OSTTP). The new protocol can ensure strong fairness and the OSTTP can't get the exchanged secrets without conspiring with any participants.

A multi-party non-repudiation protocol with semi-trusted third party

Multi-party exchange protocols are so widely used in electronic commerce that more and more attention is being paid to designing multi-party protocols or algorithms. Multi-party protocols with non-repudiation play an important role in data fair exchange in the Internet. In this paper, we present a new multi-party protocol with off-line semi-trusted third party (STTP). The protocol is very efficient, at most 5|R|message are broadcast.

A fair exchange protocol based on short signature with the off-line semi-trusted third party

Xiangjun Xin, Fagen Li

Based on a short signature scheme and discrete logarithm problem,a new fair exchange protocol with the off-line semi-Trusted Third Party(TTP) is proposed.The off-line semi-TTP intervenes into the protocol in case of trouble,which makes the fair exchange optimistic.The off-line TTP need not be completely trusted,since it can get neither signature exchanged when disputation is solved.Because this protocol is based on short signature,which needs low storage and little communication,it can be used in low-bandwidth communication and low-storage environments.

Fair Exchange of Digital Signatures using RSA-based CEMBS and Offline STTP

Jamal Ali Hussein, Mumtaz A. AlMukhtar

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 Encrypted Message Being Signature" (CEMBS) by using RSA signature scheme. This protocol relies on the help of an "off-line Semi-Trusted Third Party" (STTP) to achieve fairness. They provide with confidential protection from the STTP for the exchanged items by limiting the role and power of the STTP. Three different protocols have been proposed. In the first protocol, the two main parties exchange their signatures on a common message. In the second protocol, the signatures are exchanged on two different messages. While in the third one, the exchange is between confidential data and signature.

A New Fair Non-Repudiation Protocol with Off-Line Semi-Trusted Third Party

Cai Wang

Non repudiation and fairness turn out to be two important security properties of electronic commerce protocols.In this paper,based on a verifiable encryption with blind decryption,we present a new fair non repudiation protocol with off line semi trusted third party,so either transaction party can unilaterally bring a transaction to completion without losing fairness.This is the first non repudiation protocol with off line semi trusted third party.

A multiparty fair-exchange protocol

Zhengquan Li

Based on the secret sharing technique,this paper proposes a multi-party fair exchange protocol.The protocol uses an online trusted third party(TTP) in order to help the participants to realize fair exchange.The advantage of a protocol implemented with an online TTP is that the TTP is semi-trusted.Fairness of the proposed protocol is proved in this paper.
