Abstract

In 2001, Harn and Lin [4] proposed a non-repudiation metering scheme. In this paper, we reveal two security weaknesses in their scheme, which could make the scheme either too inefficient or incapable of presenting the exact visiting number of a server. An improved scheme will be presented in this paper to avoid these weaknesses in the metering scheme.
