A flexible payment scheme and its user-role assignments are proposed in this paper. The scheme uses electronic cash for payment transactions. In this new protocol from the viewpoint of banks, consumers can improve anonymity if they are worried about disclosure of their identities. A new role called anonymity provider agent (AP) provides a high anonymous certificate. The role AP certifies re-encrypted data after verifying the validity of the content from consumers, but with no private information of the consumers required. With this new method, each consumer con get a required anonymity level, depending on the available time, computation mid cost.There are two types of problems that may arise in user-role assignments. One is related to authorization granting process. Mutually exclusive roles may be granted to a user and the user may have or derive a high level of authority. Another is related to authorization revocation. When a role is revoked from a user, the user may still have the role from other roles. To solve these problems, we first analyze the duty separation constraints of the roles and role hierarchies in the scheme, then discuss granting a role to a user, weak revocation and strong revocation for the scheme.
