Abstract

This paper introduces and solves a security problem ofpervasive computing: how to define authorizations for off-lineinteractions when trust relationships among entities donot exist. A new type of capability is proposed to assurethat user interactions are not traceable and that misbehavingusers automatically lose some money they deposited asa guarantee of their loyalty. The solution inspired by electroniccash is based on a new version of the cut-and-chooseprotocol adapted for open environments.
