Renvall, Ari

Bull. EATCS 47, 200-205 (1992).

The ANDOS-protocol to be introduced in this paper is very similar to that of A. Salomaa and L. Santean [Bull. EATCS 42, 178-186 (1990)]. The main difference is that now there is only one buyer and no trusted persions are needed. The protocol uses two one-way permutations of which the other must be a “trapdoor function”.
