The goal of this project is to develop new tools based on the notion of "discreet proof" for ensuring security of electronic-commerce transactions. This type of proof is "discreet" in the sense that it reveals no more than is strictly necessary for the purposes of a given transaction. Discreet proofs are useful in providing authenticity, confidentiality, anonymity, accountability, and other properties often needed to ensure security of a transaction. For example, discreet proofs can be used to decouple the information in a medical databaseregarding a patient's medical condition and treatment from the patient's identity, thereby protecting the patient's privacy while simultaneously providing accountability in the dispensing of drugs and facilitating the collection of aggregate data for socially desirable goals. Constructing discreet proofs for a given application can be technically challenging. Expected research results include i) software tools to automate the construction of discreet proofs; ii) specific proofs for frequently used cryptographic primitives inE-commerce; iii) practical protocols based on discreet proofs for E-commerce applications. Through its educational component, the project is expected to increase the pool of adequately trained personnel in the growing area of E-commerce.

该项目的目标是开发基于“谨慎证明”概念的新工具，以确保电子商务交易的安全。这种类型的证明是“谨慎的”，因为它揭示的不超过给定交易的严格必要目的。谨慎的证明在提供真实性、保密性、匿名性、可追究性以及确保交易安全经常需要的其他属性方面很有用。例如，谨慎的证据可以用来将医疗数据库中的信息与患者的身份分离，从而保护患者的隐私，同时在药品分配方面负起责任，并为社会期望的目标收集汇总数据提供便利。为给定的应用程序构建谨慎的证明在技术上可能是具有挑战性的。预期的研究成果包括：i)自动构造保密证明的软件工具；ii)电子商务中常用的密码原语的特定证明；iii)电子商务应用中基于保密证明的实用协议。通过其教育部分，预计该项目将在不断增长的电子商务领域增加训练有素的人员队伍。
