Optimally-fair exchange of secrets via delay encryption and commutative blinding

We propose a new fair exchange protocol that takes advantage of delay encryption and commutative encryption to achieve optimal partial fairness among all protocols involving one-way messages. Our protocol consists of 3 setup messages and 2N + 1 exchange messages and it is fair against covert adversa...

description We propose a new fair exchange protocol that takes advantage of delay encryption and commutative encryption to achieve optimal partial fairness among all protocols involving one-way messages. Our protocol consists of 3 setup messages and 2N + 1 exchange messages and it is fair against covert adversaries with probability 1 − 1 2N . We prove that this is optimal up to shortening the setup phase which is notably more efficient than existing protocols.
