Performance Modelling of Optimistic Fair Exchange
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we explore the overhead introduced by secure functions in considering a case study in non-repudiation. We present a model of an optimistic fair exchange protocol specified using the Markovian process algebra PEPA and present results derived using a fluid approximation and stochastic simulation. This system poses an interesting performance problem in that the degree overhead of the protocol is depended on the degree of misbehaviour by the participants.

A traceable optimistic fair exchange protocol in the standard model
An Optimistic Fair Exchange (OFE) protocol is a good way for two parties to exchange their digital items in a fair way such that at the end of the protocol execution, both of them receive their items or none of them receive anything. In an OFE protocol there is a semi-trusted third party, named arbitrator, which involves in the protocol if it is necessary. But there is a security problem when a...
متن کاملOptimistic Fair Exchange in a Multi-user Setting
This paper addresses the security of optimistic fair exchange in a multi-user setting. While the security of public key encryption and public key signature schemes in a single-user setting guarantees the security in a multi-user setting, we show that the situation is different in the optimistic fair exchange. First, we show how to break, in the multi-user setting, an optimistic fair exchange sc...
متن کاملEfficient Optimistic Fair Exchange Secure in the Multi-user Setting and Chosen-Key Model without Random Oracles
Optimistic fair exchange is a kind of protocols to solve the problem of fair exchange between two parties. Almost all the previous work on this topic are provably secure only in the random oracle model. In PKC 2007, Dodis et al. considered optimistic fair exchange in a multiuser setting, and showed that the security of an optimistic fair exchange in a single-user setting may no longer be secure...
متن کاملAn Optimistic NBAC-Based Fair Exchange Method for Arbitrary Items
Fair exchange protocols are important in realizing safe electronic commerce. In particular, optimistic fair exchange protocols, which involve a trusted third party only when mutual communication between exchanging parties fails, are the most promising development because of their efficiency. Unfortunately, however, existing optimistic protocols place restrictions on the items that can be exchan...
متن کاملAn optimistic fair exchange protocol and its security in the universal composability framework
Fair exchange protocols allow both or neither of two parties to obtain the other’s items, and this property is essential in e-commerce. In this paper, we construct an optimistic fair exchange protocol that is applicable to any digital signature by prescribing three forms of signatures, namely presignature, post-signature and notarised signature. We set an expiration date for presignature, and t...
