A Modular Method of Designing Fair Electronic Contract Protocols
Pang Liao · 2005
Electronic contract protocol is receiving more and more attention. In the paper,a modular method of de- signing fair electronic contract protocols is proposed. Through the analysis of the electronic contract signing process, a set of protocol modules are defined and these protocol modules can be used to construct fair electronic contract pro- tocols efficiently. Besides reducing the complexity of the protocol's design and analysis,this method enables designer to design an electronic contract protocol with a proper degree of fairness according to the practical application.
