SERVICE AND TIMEFRAME DEPENDENT UNLINKABLE ONE-TIME PSEUDONYMS

Kristof Verslype, Bart De Decker

2009

Abstract

A solution is presented to allow a service provider to limit the number of times per timeframe that a user can access each single service, while maintaining complete unlinkability of different visits by that user. Since the solution is built upon existing building blocks such as anonymous credentials, it is extremely flexible.
