Resumo |
Optimistic fair exchange (OFE) allows two parties to exchange their digital items in a fair way. As one of the fundamental problems in secure electronic business and digital rights management, OFE has been studied intensively since its introduction. This paper introduces and defines a new property for OFE: Strong Resolution-Ambiguity. We show that many existing OFE protocols have the new property, but its formal investigation has been missing in those protocols. We prove that in the certified-key model, an OFE protocol is secure in the multi-user setting if it is secure in the single-user setting and has the property of strong resolution-ambiguity. Our result not only simplifies the security analysis of OFE protocols in the multi-user setting but also provides a new approach for the design of multi-user secure OFE protocols. Following this approach, a new OFE protocol with strong resolution-ambiguity is proposed. Our analysis shows that the protocol is setup-free, stand-alone and multi-user secure without random oracles. <br /> |
