Practical Compact E-Cash with Arbitrary Wallet Size

Patrick Märtens

Abstract

Compact e-cash schemes allow users to withdraw a wallet containing $K$ coins and to spend each coin unlinkably. We present the first compact e-cash scheme with arbitrary wallet size $k \leq K$ while the spending protocol is of constant time and space complexity. Known compact e-cash schemes are constructed from either verifiable random functions or bounded accumulators. We use both building blocks to construct the new scheme which is secure under the $q$-SDH, the $y$-DDHI and the SXDH assumptions in the random oracle model.
