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.

“…Transportation industry organizations are trying to substitute printed ticketing with electronic ticketsusing different technologies for multiple yearsalready, including separate smartcards [4][5][6], multiple application SIM cards [7] and mobile tickets managed by mobile applicationintegrated with mobile payment infrastructure [8].Until 2015 mobile payments and mobile e-commerce in the Baltic states were poorly supported and executed [9]. However, more companies develop infrastructure that allows execution of mobile payments and supports mobile transaction object management, including transportation ticket or e-ticket management.…”

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...

“…The upgrading of the e-ticketing system in the city of brescia resulted in the distribution of 1,250 cards to public transport users in april 2012. as far as the reliability of the new system is concerned, less than 2% of all the cards that had been used were defective [8]. Despite the fact that e-ticketing services can be used for different services, they must fulfil some common requirements like authenticity, non-repudiation, integrity and state [9]. Finally, although the diffusion of new technologies is very fast it must be noticed that 'the expected termination of the traditional fare product concept with the introduction of contactless smart cards has not been matched by the reality' [10].…”

This article examines a specific aspect of e-payment: e-ticketing in public transport. The reference area is the campus of the aristotle University of Thessaloniki, which is the largest university in greece with more than 73,000 students. The target group was the students of the university campus. The methodology used included a stated preference survey which took place in may 2015. During the survey 300 questionnaires were collected and analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. In addition, a binary logistics model was developed, analysing the intention of the students to use the e-ticketing system, which is under examination for the city of Thessaloniki. From the analysis, it was found that more than 86.7% of the students would be willing to use e-ticketing in public transport. They consider time saving as the most important reason for someone to use e-ticketing. an interesting finding is that 64.2% of the students would like to use their smart cards or cell phones not just for e-ticketing but also for other applications. The binary logistics model has pointed out that age, gender, car availability and familiarity with e-booking are statistically important factors for the students' intention to use the e-ticketing system.
