Undeniable mobile billing schemes
Pages 338 - 345
Abstract
An undeniable mobile billing system allows a mobile network service provider to bill its subscribers with trustworthy evidences. Chen, Jan and Chen proposed such a billing system by introducing a trusted third party - Observer and exploiting a hash chain mechanism. In their system, the Observer provides call time evidence to both cellular carriers and subscribers for billing. In this paper, we first identify some vulnerabilities in their mobile billing system. Then, we propose an undeniable billing scheme based on a proper combination of digital signature and hash chain mechanism. The proposed scheme can achieve authentication, non-repudiation, and fairness, which are desirable security requirements for an undeniable mobile billing system.

New convertible undeniable signature schemes
EUROCRYPT'96: Proceedings of the 15th annual international conference on Theory and application of cryptographic techniquesUndeniable signatures are like ordinary digital signatures, except that testing validity of a signature requires interaction with the signer. This gives the signer additional control over who will benefit from being convinced by a signature, and is ...
Short and efficient convertible undeniable signature schemes without random oracles
A convertible undeniable signature allows a signer to confirm or disavow a non-self-authenticating signature and also convert a valid one to a publicly verifiable signature. During the conversion, existing schemes either require the signer to be ...

In this paper, we present the first certificateless undeniable signature scheme. The scheme does not suffer from the key escrow problem, which is inherent in identity based cryptosystems. Also it can avoid the onerous management of certificates. ...
