A Secure Reverse Multi-Attribute First-Price E-Auction Mechanism Using Multiple Auctioneer Servers (Work in Progress)

One of the recent focus within the auction field has been multi-attribute auctions where buyer is not restricted to selecting the best option only by price but also other attributes. Due to the increase in the awareness of securing private information, in this paper, we design a secure reverse multi-attribute first-price auction scheme, in which the auction is processed on the bidders' encrypted bids by multiple auctioneer servers. As a result, auctioneer servers can determine the winner without knowing the real value of bids, which let bidder's privacy would not be revealed. At last, an analysis on the privacy of bids is conducted.
