A fair protocol for signing contracts
Abtract-Two parties, A and B , want to sign a contract C over a communication network. To do so, they must “simultaneously” exchange their commitments to C.

Assume that two parties, A and B, want to sign a contract over a communication network, i.e. they want to exchange their "commitments" to the contract.

متن کاملQuantum contract signing
We present a probabilistic quantum contract signing protocol between two clients that requires no communication with the third trusted party during the commitment (i.e. signature exchange) phase. We discuss its fairness and show that it is possible to design such a protocol for which the probability of a dishonest client to cheat becomes negligible, and scales as N−1/2, where N is the size of t...
