Abstract

Various electronic cash systems have been developed in the literature to provide the clients’ anonymity.But most of them do not provide transferability.Though a few cash systems have been proposed to provide transferability additionally, those systems are not efficient or lack of functionality.In this paper, using group signatures we suggest an efficient coin-based transferable off-line electronic cash system which provides anonymity control and unlinkability.
