Abstract

In this paper, we cryptanalyze a receipt-free electronic sealed-bid auction scheme and show that it is forgeable under the known bid attack. Specifically, we show that a malicious sealer can forge the sealed-bid with non-negligible probability. Besides, we also propose a possible fix for the attack.
