Abstract
At Asiacrypt 1996, M'Raihi presented an electronic payment scheme using a blinding office to achieve anonymity. This scheme allows both a bank and a blinding office to impersonate a user without being detected. It may result in a denial problem where the user can deny his bad behaviour by suggesting that either the bank or the blinding office did wrong. This paper proposes a variant of the M'Raihi scheme to prevent the bank and blinding office from impersonating the user, so that the user cannot deny it if he abuses a coin himself.
Part of the first author's work was funded by the European Commission under ACTS project AC095 (ASPeCT) when she worked in Royal Holloway, University of London.
