An electronic ticket is a
contract, in digital format, between the user and the service
provider, and reduces both economic costs and time in many services
such as air travel industries or public transport. However, the
electronic ticket security has to be strongly guaranteed, as well as
the privacy of their users. We present an electronic ticketing system
that considers these security requirements and includes the
exculpability as a security requirement for these systems, i.e users
and the service provider can not falsely accuse each other of
misbehaviour. The system ensures that either both parties receive
their desired data from other or neither does (fair exchange).
Furthermore, this scheme takes special care of the computational
requirements on the users' side, as we consider the use of mobile
devices with light-weight cryptography, because they are the best
positioned in order to manage the electronic tickets in the near
future.
