Abstract

E-commerce has become a crucial part of global economic activities, and ensuring the atomicity of transactions in E-commerce is vital. So far, existing E-commerce solutions face the following atomicity problems: DigiCash with double-spending, SSL and SET with failing to ensure goods atomicity, and the Netbill protocol with dependency on intermediary services. Blockchain technology provides an effective solution to these problems. During an E-commerce transaction, customers and merchants can conduct transactions under two blockchains: the digital currency blockchain and the product supply chain blockchain, using Hash Time Locked Contracts (HTLCs) to facilitate cross-chain transaction and achieve transaction atomicity. This paper designs a blockchain-based scheme and implements a cross-chain experiment targeted at atomicity in E-commerce transaction.
