Abstract

The electronic ticketing (e-ticketing) network system has been widely adopted in many countries, offering numerous benefits to public transport authorities and their customers. These benefits include fast and compatible verification processes and mechanisms for replacing lost tickets. Additionally, the system provides security against forgery through cryptographic mechanisms. Most e-ticketing systems use RFID technology to facilitate authentication. RFID-based authentication publishes customer-related sensitive information—e.g., customer location—as temporary data. RFID alone does not adequately address privacy concerns. In this work, we discuss the relevant privacy and security requirements of existing e-ticketing systems and introduce an eID protocol designed to create a privacy-enhanced framework.
