“…Any other provider should neither learn a ticket's details nor a customer's identity (Customer -Unrelated Provider Privacy, C-UP Privacy). While previous work [19]- [21] has proposed ticketing systems that consider privacy more comprehensively, our problem statement includes ticket sale as well as revenue allocation, and the PCN-based approach presented below is decentralized.…”

In many public transport networks, multiple providers cooperate to offer integrated services and, consequently, provide integrated fare collection. Thus, ticket revenues need to be redistributed so that each provider receives its respective share. Typically, the customers' travel behavior is surveyed and the fares paid are aggregated over certain periods of time, and the revenue is periodically allocated based on this information. To avoid a centralized trusted third party or the exchange of sensitive information between providers, we present an approach that integrates revenue allocation directly into the payment process: The proposed approach is based on payment channel networks and utilizes multi-hop payments to perform revenue allocation. We thereby show how to make use of payment channel networks in this setting as well as the corresponding benefits.

“…These schemes can implement anonymity, de-anonymity, ticket unlinkability and ticket untransferability, but, unlike our scheme, they do not support privacy-preserving attribute-based ticketing. While Gudymenko in [10] addressed user privacy as well as differently priced tickets in his e-ticket scheme and used group signatures to make tickets unlinkable, no formal security models and security proofs were presented.…”

“…Similarly, a disable passenger might need to reveal more details about his disability to the ticket issuer or verifier than necessary for purchasing or verifying a ticket. Gudymenko [10] and Kerschbaum et al [11] addressed this issue, but their schemes were not proven formally.…”

Electronic tickets (e-tickets) are electronic versions of paper tickets, which enable users to access intended services and improve services' efficiency. However, privacy may be a concern of e-ticket users. In this paper, a privacy-preserving electronic ticket scheme with attribute-based credentials is proposed to protect users' privacy and facilitate ticketing based on a user's attributes. Our proposed scheme makes the following contributions: (1) users can buy different tickets from ticket sellers without releasing their exact attributes; (2) two tickets of the same user cannot be linked; (3) a ticket cannot be transferred to another user; (4) a ticket cannot be double spent; (5) the security of the proposed scheme is formally proven and reduced to wellknown (q-strong Diffie-Hellman) complexity assumption; (6) the scheme has been implemented and its performance empirically evaluated. To the best of our knowledge, our privacy-preserving attribute-based e-ticket scheme is the first one providing these five features. Application areas of our scheme include event or transport tickets where users must convince ticket sellers that their attributes (e.g. age, profession, location) satisfy the ticket price policies to buy discounted tickets. More generally, our scheme can be used in any system where access to services is only dependent on a user's attributes (or entitlements) but not their identities.

“…Paper tickets are replaced by electronic counterparts. The places as London, San Paulo, Singaporeand others already use e-tickets for a while [10]. Usually the RFID technology is used and e-ticket or multiple ticket information is included into separate smartcard.…”

Abstract. There are solutions in the market that enable brand holders to combine their serviceswithother suppliers of goods or services. However, there is no unified technological solutionavailable for e-commerce purchasing object management. Purchasing objects are objects that are generated automatically or manually createdas a result of the transaction, for example, a bus ticket, travel insurance payment, concert ticket orthird party liability insurance. Management of purchasing objects is an important e-commerce process for all involved parties. Now a variety of payment methods and information systems are available in the market that allows generating purchasing objects. E-tickets are an example of the purchasing objects, which are rapidly being introduced for use. Electronic ticket management is increasingly entrusted to mobile devices and applications. Market analysis shows that e-ticket management becomes more complicated because it is related to different systems, applications and interfaces in the transport sector. This study analyses the mobile ticket life-cycle management problems that are being solved in the development of the service providers' mutual integration solution architecture model. The unified public transport service scenario was developed, which consists of purchasing object generation, storing and transporting to service providers, transaction processors and customers. The developed purchasing object management model provides customers with opportunity to manage the financial transaction documents, while service providers will facilitate the document turnover and improve the business process. The proposed model has been piloted on a joint stock company micro-payment system infrastructure, integrating Latvian Railway external services. The study was conducted in the framework of Latvia, and is aimed to improve e-commerce solutions in Latvia.Keywords: e-ticket, m-ticket, e-commerce solution. IntroductionRapid developments in information technology transform the way various businesses are executed. With maturing of the technology and fast distribution of smartphones, more and more businesses go partially or fully mobile. However, business preparation for mobile e-commerce includes an important step -creating mobile service that is convenient for merchants and is user friendly. Data show that in Finland after installation of mobile applications during the next month only 35 % are continued to be used [1].Another important step is to include payment methods that users recognize and can apply, such methods include or are compatible with local internet banks, and use recognised services such as PayPal, Square, Stripe or others. IT companies develop special applications to support mobile payments such as Google Wallet and Apple Pay. These applications allow storing payment data in special protected profile, so whenever the user needs to pay for the product or service, there is no need to re-enter payment information. Such special applications are rather new solutions and still unavailable in man...
