Abstract

Current financial markets rely on direct trust between trading parties or a common trusted third party (TTP). The Internet enables practically any two possible traders around the world to locate each other, but payments and trading mechanisms are still centralized, inefficient, and require direct trust or trusted intermediaries. We present DOT-COM, a financial trading protocol that supports trades between any trading parties, even when no trust or common TTP exist between them. The proposed system makes sure that the traded financial products are exchanged by both sides while ensuring that neither side is exposed to fraud, default or settlement risks. Trade execution is carried out within a predefined time frame, and may be subject to arbitrary conditions defined by the traders. DOT-COM design allows such trades to be conducted over the Internet, automatically, efficiently, securely and cheaply.
