SEAL: Sealed-Bid Auction Without Auctioneers [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security, 2020 We propose the first auctioneer-free sealed-bid auction protocol with a linear computation and communication complexity O(c), c being the bit length of the bid price. Our protocol, called Self-Enforcing Auction Lot (SEAL), operates in a decentralized setting, where bidders jointly compute the maximum bid while preserving the privacy of losing bids.
