An electronic payment scheme allowing special rates for anonymous regular customers

Anonymous electronic payment systems are regarded as essential for the protection of the privacy of consumers participating in electronic transactions. In this paper, we present an electronic payment scheme which allows regular customers not only to get special rates from the merchant but also to be kept anonymous to the merchant.
