Title:
NONREPUDIATION PROTOCOLS

For electronic business to mature, electronic transactions have to be made binding for sender and receiver. Digital signatures meet the original goals of non-repudiation quite adequately, but often further requirements are added, which demand the involvement of some trusted third party.

This talk will give an outline of current suggestions for non-repudiation protocols, discuss in more detail one particular protocol which tries to reduce the involvement of the trusted third party, and raise some points regarding the design and verification of such protocols.
