Abstract
Abstract—A main challenge in mobile commerce is to make it
possible for users to manage their transaction histories from both
online e-commerce transactions and in-person transactions. Such
histories are typically useful to build credit or to establish trust
based on past transactions. In this paper we propose an approach
to manage electronic receipts on cellular devices by assuring
their secure and privacy-preserving usage. We provide a comprehensive
notion of transactions history including both on-line
transaction and in-person transactions. We apply cryptographic
protocols, such as secret sharing and zero knowledge proofs, in
a potentially vulnerable and constrained setting. Specifically, our
approach supports flexible strategies based on Shamir’s secret
sharing to cater to different user requirements and architectural
constraints. In addition, aggregate zero knowledge proofs are
used to efficiently support proofs of various receipt attributes.
We have implemented the system on Nokia NFC cellular phones
and report in the paper performance evaluation results.
