In recent years with the improvement of information communication technology (ICT) and wireless communication, Online Trading Environment (OTE) has become a popular E-commerce platform to connect sellers and buyers in an efficient way. As, OTE's are increasing in a wider range, the authentication and verification of entities in OTE network becomes a challenging task. Although, some authentication schemes exist in OTE's, they have flaws such as account creation delays, authentication delays, communication cost and user privacy. In this work, a trustworthy and secure anonymous authentication scheme is proposed to prevent malicious users to enter into the OTE network. In addition, our proposed scheme provides conditional privacy to users until they maintain a genuine relationship with other entities without compromising. If any dispute occurs, then the system will revoke the access of that particular entity. Moreover, the security and performance analysis in this work concludes that our scheme ensures a secure interface to provide sustainable trading experience to users by taking less computation cost and communication delay when compared to other existing authentication schemes.
近年来，随着信息通信技术（ICT）和无线通信的发展，在线交易环境（OTE）已成为连接卖家和买家的一种流行电子商务平台，以实现高效沟通。随着 OTE 的应用范围不断扩大，OTE 网络中实体的认证和验证成为一项具有挑战性的任务。尽管 OTE 中存在一些认证方案，但它们存在账户创建延迟、认证延迟、通信成本和用户隐私等缺陷。在这项工作中，提出了一种值得信赖和安全的匿名认证方案，以防止恶意用户进入 OTE 网络。此外，我们提出的方案为用户提供有条件的隐私保护，直到他们与其他实体保持真实关系，而不会损害隐私。如果发生任何争议，系统将吊销该特定实体的访问权限。此外，通过与其他现有认证方案进行比较，本工作中的安全性和性能分析表明，我们的方案通过减少计算成本和通信延迟，确保了安全的接口，为用户提供可持续的交易体验。
