ABSTRACT:
Parties involved in a particular transaction in an E-marketplace each identify and submit to the E-marketplace relevant characteristics related to that transaction. The identification of the party is not revealed with this submission. To achieve this, an attribute certificate is created which contains attributes related to a buyer or seller's potential participation in a transaction. The attributes that are selected pertain to specifics of the transaction and not to the certificate holder. Each of the attributes are verified by a trusted authority (e.g., the E-marketplace acting as an intermediary for the transaction) so that when the attribute certificate is supplied to a party, the party is assured that the information it contains is accurate. In this manner, parties to a negotiation in a particular transaction are able to know immediately and with a high level of assurance that certain critical elements to the proposed transaction are met (or are capable of being met). This information is made available to all who wish to participate in the bidding
egotiating process (as opposed to being available only when specifically authorized by the certificate owner) but without the need to identify the certificate owner.
