Abstract

In 1988, Chaum et al. introduced the idea of electronic check. Then, Pasupathinathan et al. tried to come up with an electronic checkbook scheme. However, their scheme requires signature for each e-check and is not considered as an e-checkbook. Later, three e-checkbook propositions are made by T.H Chen et al., Chang et al., and C.L. Chen et al. based on the scheme of W.K. Chen et al. Recently, Sertkaya and Kalkar showed that these three e-checkbook schemes are susceptible to e-check forgery and/or e-check manipulation attacks. They also proposed fixes for these schemes. Nonetheless, fixed versions also carry out drawbacks of the original schemes, like heavy hashing computations, time-synchronization issues, and multiple communication rounds. This study offers an efficient and secure e-checkbook scheme with mutual authentication.

Karşılıklı Kimlik Doğrulaması Sağlayan Etkin Elektronik Çek Defteri Şeması

Abstract

1988'de Chaum vd. elektronik çek fikrini ortaya attılar. Ardından, Pasupathinathan vd. elektronik çek defteri çözümü üretmeye çalıştılar. Fakat sistemlerinde her bir çek için bir imza bulunduğu için, tam bir elektronik çek defteri çözümü sayılmaz. Daha sonra T.H. Chen vd., Chang vd. ve C.L. Chen vd., W.K Chen vd.'nin çözümünü geliştiren çek defteri sistemleri önerdiler. Yakın zamanda Sertkaya ve Kalkar önerilen bu sistemlerin, çek sahteciliğine ve manipulasyonlarına karşı dayanıklı olmadıklarını gösterdiler. Ayrıca, bu sistemlerin nasıl düzeltileceğine dair çözümler önerdiler. Bu sistemlerin güvenli versiyonları hala daha eski hallerinin temel problemlerini taşımaktadırlar; örneğin, fazla sayıda özet hesaplama, zaman senkronizasyon problemleri ve çok sayıda iletişim turu. Bu çalışma, karşılıklı kimlik doğrulaması sağlayan verimli ve güvenli bir elektronik çek defteri şeması önermektedir.
