Abstract: Internet auctions have made rapid progress in recent years. Managers must be cautious before launching their company into internet and e-auction ventures. In this paper, we presented the implication of electronic auction and proposed a novel Reverse Vickrey Auction with Threshold Cryptosystem (RVT) auction protocol to solve bid privacy problems in typical reverse Vickrey auctions. Our proposed RVT protocol is robust against any cheating bidders.

Keywords: services; web service; standards; reverse auction; bid privacy; auctions; security.
