Abstract
This paper presents an original concept of micropayment schemes which combine both the simplicity of an electronic pre-paid card without trusted third party and user's privacy. Two protocols are proposed - the first one is based on a secure one-way hash function, the second one is based on a cryptographically secure pseudorandom bit generator. The main advantage of the proposed schemes is the ability to perform a cryptographic key distribution within the micropayment process.
