An efficient electronic marketplace bidding auction protocol with bid privacy

초록

We modified the multi-agent negotiation test-bed which was proposed by Collins et al. In 2004, Jaiswal et al. have modified Collins's scheme, but Jaiswal's scheme still has some security weaknesses: such as replay data attack and DOS (denial-of-service) attack, anonymity disclosure, collision between customers and a certain supplier. So the proposed protocol tries to reduce DOS attack and avoids replay data attack by providing ticket token and deal sequence number to the supplier. It utilizes efficient LPN-based authentication method to accomplish lightweight authentication. And it publishes an interpolating polynomial for sharing the determination process data and avoids collusion between a customer and a certain supplier. Also the proposed scheme relaxes the trust assumptions for three-party in Jaiswal's scheme. According to comparison and analysis with other protocols, our proposed protocol shows good security and less computation cost. ? 2008 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
