Abstract

Recent peer-to-peer applications focus on end-to-end transport security. However, with future applications like distributed market places on the rise, it is likely, that the security focus will shift to other security mechanisms. In distributed market places, non-repudiation of contract data is an issue to allow economic transactions. This paper presents a non-repudiation protocol, which also satisfies requirements emerged by the application in a peer-to-peer network.
