Abstract

Protocols for implementing contract signing, confidential disclosures, and certified mail in an electronic mail system are proposed. These transactions are provably impossible without a trusted intermediary. However, they can be implemented with just a small probability of a participant cheating his partner, by use of a beacon emitting random integers. Applications include privacy protection of personal information in data banks, as well as the protection of business transactions.
