A Fair and Reliable P2P E-Commerce Model Based on Collaboration with Distributed Peers.

In this paper we present a fair and reliable e-commerce model for P2P network, in which communication parties can buy and sell products by P2P contact. In particular, we focus on a fair exchange protocol that is based on collaboration with distributed communication parties and distinguished from the traditional fair exchange protocols based on a central trusted authority. This feature makes our model very attractive in P2P networking environment which does not depend on any central trusted authority for managing communication parties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
