Abstract: Multi-coupon(MC)is a popular form of e-commerce promotion. However, the existing MC systems have many shortcomings, such as low efficiency in the redeem phase, efficiency improvement at the expense of customer privacy, and the adoption of unnecessary system parameters, etc. A new MC system based on pre-paid model is proposed that is based on the technique of Au-Susilo-Mu signature scheme, exact range proof, signatures of knowledge, etc. The new system satisfies provable security under the new security model based on simulation. Besides, the new system has several practical features, such as supporting multiple types of goods, allowing customers to redeem multiple coupons at one time, and allowing customers to choose the number of coupons contained in the MC. The efficiency analysis shows that the new system does not require customers to perform inefficient bilinear pairing operations online or in advance, thus significantly improving the efficiency of customers in the coupon redemption stage.

Key words: e-coupons, prepaid model, privacy protection, range proof, signatures of knowledge
