TRUSTABLE E COUPON SERVICE USING PUBLIC BLOCKCHAIN

Abstract

The rising popularity of e-commerce has led to the widespread adoption of electronic coupons (e-coupons) due to their convenience and portability. However, traditional e-coupon services that rely on centralized servers often face security concerns. Centralization can result in issues like counterfeit e-coupons, difficulties in proving ownership, and the possibility of double-spending on expired e-coupons. In order to address these challenges, we have developed an innovative e-coupon service that harnesses the power of blockchain technology to enhance security. Our approach involves the creation of a dedicated server that facilitates the e-coupon service and interacts seamlessly with the blockchain system. To ensure the integrity of the e-coupon business logic and implementation information, we have developed a smart contract on an Ethereum-based blockchain system. By leveraging this blockchain infrastructure, we can establish a trustable and transparent environment for e-coupon transactions. Through rigorous experimentation and analysis , we have demonstrated that our proposed service significantly bolsters security while incurring only minimal performance impact when compared to existing e-coupon services. By integrating blockchain technology, we provide a robust solution that effectively addresses the concerns surrounding e-coupon security, paving the way for a more reliable and trustworthy e-commerce experience.
