Abstract

Advances in wireless network technology and the continuously increasing users of Personal Trusted Device (PTD) make the latter an ideal channel for offering personalized services to mobile users. In this paper, we apply some cryptology (such as public key infrastructure, hashing chain and digital signature) to propose a realistic mobile ticket system such that fairness, non-repudiation, anonymity, no forging, efficient verification, simplicity, practicability and obviate the embezzlement issues can be guaranteed. On the basis of PTD is more portable and personal than personal computer, we gradually perceived that the widely used PTD will present huge commerce profits for mobile ticket service provider and it is convenient to the PTD user.
