A fair exchange protocol based on short signature with the off-line semi-trusted third party
Xiangjun Xin, Fagen Li · Journal of Xidian University · 2007
Based on a short signature scheme and discrete logarithm problem,a new fair exchange protocol with the off-line semi-Trusted Third Party(TTP) is proposed.The off-line semi-TTP intervenes into the protocol in case of trouble,which makes the fair exchange optimistic.The off-line TTP need not be completely trusted,since it can get neither signature exchanged when disputation is solved.Because this protocol is based on short signature,which needs low storage and little communication,it can be used in low-bandwidth communication and low-storage environments.
