Abstract: A contract is a non-repudiable agreement on a given contract text, i.e., a contract can be used to prove agreement between its signatories to any verifier. A contract signing scheme is used to fairly compute a contract so that, even if one of the signatories misbehaves, either both or none of the signatories obtain a contract. Optimistic contract signing protocols use a third party to ensure fairness, but in such a way that the third party is not actively involved in the fault-less case. Since... (Update)

...way is to ask a third party for assistance but at the price of extra costs. Optimistic exchange and contract signing schemes [1,44] reduce that costs in that the third party is not actively involved in the fault less case. Thus optimistic schemes are more suitable for...

...signatures presented in [4] is also abuse free; however, that protocol is inefficient in that it requires cut and choose techniques. In [23] the optimal efficiency of optimistic contract signing protocols is considered, and they give tight lower bounds on the message and...
