Generic Framework Intimating Conventional Anonymous Auctions
Yu-Shian Chen, Chin‐Laung Lei · 2010
We build a generic framework for anonymous auctions by combining several cryptographic primitives including group signatures, ring signatueres, and undeniable signatures. Our framework fully intimates the actual interactions among parties in two general types (open and sealed-bid) of conventional auctions. This design preserves the convenience and economic effects rooted in traditional bidding. Like most cryptographic auction schemes, our solution also provides several security guarantees including bidders' anonymity, secrecy of bidding price, publicly verifiability, non-repudiation, etc.
