A mobile ticket validation by VSS tech with time-stamp
Chun-Te Chen, Te-Chung Lu · 2004
Mobile commerce is becoming increasingly important in business. We find the e-ticket to be a popular way of implementing m-com. In order to solve some authentication drawback we propose a mobile ticket validation method using VSS (Visual Secret Sharing) technology with a time-stamp protocol on the mobile environment. The VSS encryption technology separates the ticket into two parts; one part of the ticket is sent to the user after purchasing. The other part is sent to the user when the time-stamp is reached. The time-stamp protocol can provide secure and fast verification. In our validation method, we offer lightweight load for a mobile device and simple identification work.
