Abstract: A privacy-preserving English auction protocol with round efficiency based on a modified ring signature has been proposed in this paper. The proposed protocol has three appealing characteristic: First, it offers conditional privacy-preservation: on the one hand, the bidder is anonymous to the public, on the other hand, only the collaboration of auctioneer and registration manager can reveal the true identity of a malicious bidder. Second, it does not require to maintain a black list which records the evicted malicious bidders. Finally, it is efficient: it saves the communication round complexity comparing with previously proposed solutions.
