Multi-party Non-repudiation Protocol Using Key Chains
Yumin Wang
Abstract
The previous multi-party non-repudiation protocols normally focus on one round message exchange.The multi-round message exchanges within the same participatores are not studied well.For the latter condition,we presented a multi-party non-repudiation protocol using key chains which can reduce the TTP's storage requirements.The protocol consists of a dispute resolution policy and four sub-protocols,i.e.,the initialization sub-protocol,the exchange sub-protocol,the abort sub-protocol and the recovery sub-protocol.Technical discussions show that the protocol satisfies fairness,timeliness and confidentiality.
