• Title: Secure Payment System Utilizing MANET for Disaster Areas
• Abstract summary: We introduce a new mobile payment system utilizing infrastructureless MANETs to enable transactions that permit users to shop in disaster areas. Specifically, we introduce an endorsement-based mechanism to provide payment guarantees for a customer-to-merchant transaction. As validated by simulations, the proposed mobile payment system is useful in a disaster area, achieving high transaction completion ratio, 65% - 90% for all scenario tested.

• Abstract: Mobile payment system in a disaster area have the potential to provide electronic transactions for people purchasing recovery goods like foodstuffs, clothes, and medicine. Conversely, to enable transactions in a disaster area, current payment systems need communication infrastructures (such as wired networks and cellular networks) which may be ruined during such disasters as large-scale earthquakes and flooding and thus cannot be depended on in a disaster area. In this paper, we introduce a new mobile payment system utilizing infrastructureless MANETs to enable transactions that permit users to shop in disaster areas. Specifically, we introduce an endorsement-based mechanism to provide payment guarantees for a customer-to-merchant transaction and a multilevel endorsement mechanism with a lightweight scheme based on Bloom filter and Merkle tree to reduce communication overheads. Our mobile payment system achieves secure transaction by adopting various schemes such as location-based mutual monitoring scheme and blind signature, while our newly introduce event chain mechanism prevents double spending attacks. As validated by simulations, the proposed mobile payment system is useful in a disaster area, achieving high transaction completion ratio, 65% - 90% for all scenario tested, and is storage-efficient for mobile devices with an overall average of 7MB merchant message size.

• Sybil-Proof Diffusion Auction in Social Networks [12.876037600020615]
  A diffusion auction is a market to sell commodities over a social network. The challenge is to incentivize existing buyers to invite their neighbors in the network to join the market. Since the mechanisms are employed in dynamic networks with ever-changing structures, buyers could easily generate fake nodes in the network to manipulate the mechanisms for their own benefits. We propose two diffusion auction mechanisms, the Sybil tax mechanism (STM) and the Sybil cluster mechanism (SCM) Our proposal provides the first mechanisms to protect the interests of buyers against Sybil attacks with a mild sacrifice of social welfare and revenue.
