A new peer-to-peer micropayment protocol based on transferable debt token
January 2010
Pages 352 - 363
Abstract
A peer-to-peer (P2P) micropayment can support practical applications that typical micropayment protocols being difficult to achieve, and has received attention recently. However, existing P2P micropayment schemes, e.g., PPay and OFPPay, may suffer from either computational overhead of frequent digital signature signing and verification, or maintenance overhead of the holder path of P2P micropayment coins. In order to overcome the aforementioned disadvantages, we propose a new P2P micropayment scheme based on the idea of transferable debt token.

Recommendations
A Lottery-based pricing scheme for peer-to-peer networks
Users in Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks tend to exploit the maximum resources they are able to obtain, offering minimum resources in response. This behavior undermines the goal of P2P systems in spreading files through the network and imposes the concept ...
A connection management protocol for promoting cooperation in Peer-to-Peer networks
The existence of a high degree of free riding in Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks is an important threat that should be addressed while designing P2P protocols. In this paper we propose a connection-based solution that will help to reduce the free riding ...
