Abstract. A substantial number of micropayment schemes in the literature are based on distributing the cost of a digital signature over several successive micropayments (e.g. Paywo...
We propose a generic framework for the development of an off-line peer-to-peer electronic payment system with fixed-value electronic coins. The proposed scheme simulates the issua...
The trustworthiness of any Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) rests upon the expectations for trust, and the degree to which those expectations are met. Policies, whether implicit as ...
We construct the first homomorphic signature scheme that is capable of evaluating multivariate polynomials on signed data. Given the public key and a signed data set, there is an...
This paper presents several methods to construct trapdoor block ciphers. A trapdoor cipher contains some hidden structure; knowledge of this structure allows an attacker to obtain ...
