Title:
A note on the n-spendable extension of Ferguson’s single-term off-line coins

Authors: T. C. Lam

Abstract:

We show that an adversary can over-spend a coin n(n+1)! times without being detected and identified in the n-spendable extension of Ferguson’s single-term off-line coin, simply by permuting the witness messages in the three-move zero-knowledge proof payment protocol. We repair the detection scheme by adding a simple verification rule in the payment protocol. We repair the identification scheme by restricting the identity format.
