This paper illustrates how a transformation technique can be used to demonstrate the relationship among e-voting, e-auction, e-cheque, and e-cash, even though they serve distinct purposes.Initially, we examine Collagen the definitions of e-cheque and e-cash schemes, along with their respective security models.Subsequently, we develop a systematic framework to transform e-cheque into e-cash, supported by formal proof demonstrating the security of the conversion.
As a corollary, we further exemplify this integration with a generic transformation framework to obtain e-cash from e-voting directly by combining an existing transformation of e-voting into e-cheque and the transformation of e-cheque into e-cash Bedding which we established earlier.We apply our transformation framework to Li et al.’s transformed e-cheque scheme and Li et al.
’s e-voting scheme to obtain a concrete, secure e-cash scheme that is IND-CCEA, IND-CIA, and EUF-CIA as an instance.Finally, we examine how our result contributes to the integration and relationship between e-voting, e-auction, e-cheque, and e-cash systems.
