BA2P : Bidirectional and Anonymous Auction Protocol with Dispute-Freeness

Electronic auction is a popular platform to sell goods, task assignment, and resources’ allocation due to reductions of transaction costs and has attracted a huge number of potential buyers. However, it is challenging to address the disputes between the buyer and the auctioneer. The main reason is,...

However, it is challenging to address the disputes between the buyer and the auctioneer.

In this work, we consider a more general framework to solve the potential disputes by enforcing bidirectional confirmation and public verification. Hence, the bidding procedure is clear to inspect and potential disputes can be erased. To achieve this goal, we propose policy-driven chameleon hash and revised linkable-and-redactable ring signature as building blocks. We used these two tools to build a bidirectional and anonymous auction protocol called BA2P. In our BA2P protocol, the bidders can competitively and anonymously place their bids to outbid others. At the end of the auction protocol, everyone can verify the validity of the bidding proof and decide the winner. Thus, dispute-freeness feature is achieved. The analysis suggests that our proposal is provably secure and practically efficient, and it trades some efficiencies with dispute-freeness feature.Ke HuangYi MuFatemeh RezaeibaghaZheyuan HeXiaosong ZhangHindawi-WileyarticleTechnology (General)T1-995Science (General)Q1-390ENSecurity and Communication Networks, Vol 2021 (2021)
