Secure electronic fee collection systems: the cryptographic part

The change from traditional road user charging with manually operated toll booths to Electronic Fee Collection (EFC) Systems, starting in the last years, has produced new problems, especially related to virtual money and privacy data in new systems. Data protection and privacy acts require a security concept for each EFC system. Security is starting by non-repudiation of the originator of a fee transaction. It includes avoiding of fraud attacks against stored or transmitted charging data. A stepwise increase of the strength of security measures simplifies implementation and testing of systems. One of the basic challenges is the data security concept and its implementation. A benefit of a strong cryptographic security system results in a reduction of investment for enforcement measures.
