Abstract
Modern smart-phones are equipped with various interfaces such as NFC, allowing a versatile use of the device for many different applications. However, every transaction of the phone especially via its NFC interface can be recorded and stored for further analysis, bearing a threat to the privacy of the device and its user. In this paper, we propose and analyze the efficiency of a mobile ticketing system that is designed for privacy protection. In our investigation, we lay focus on the specific algorithms which are based on selective disclosure protocols and Brands’ one-time show credential system. Our proof-of-concept prototype includes client- and terminal side implementations for detailed analysis. Moreover, we propose algorithm improvements to increase the performance and efficiency of the NFC transactions on the client side in our system.
