A Comprehensive Examination of Fairness and Anonymity in Service Protocols: Addressing Disputes, Privacy, and System Integrity

This research introduces a distinctive framework aimed at safeguarding participant anonymity and promoting equitable service exchanges, with use cases in confidential healthcare diagnostics, genetic lineage verification, and discreet legal advice. The structure empowers clients to verify actions performed by service entities, thereby fostering accountability. Interactions between clients and providers are systematically evaluated to illustrate the implications of varying behaviours. Findings demonstrate that the proposed mechanism upholds both anonymity and fairness, offering a reliable methodology for handling sensitive procedures. Potential advancements include embedding decentralised adjudication processes and SelfSovereign Identity (SSI) systems.
