Abstract:
The immense problem auction houses face is that the customers and the sellers in the
auction houses have little to no security and privacy in terms of their identity. The
traditional auction systems are not convenient. To overcome the aforementioned
problem, we propose a hidden web application considering live auction system, which
will help buyers and sellers in maintaining their security and anonymity. The proposed
application is of high significance as buyers can easily bid for their desired items while
maintaining their privacy. Buyers can directly chat with the seller who is carrying the
auction and can pay them online using bitcoin core. We have used the Agile
methodology to overcome the uncertainties. The application is based on Flutter
framework which will communicate with an onion-based hidden web. In the proposed
application, there will be a list of upcoming auctions and with the expiry time. As the
deal gets done, the buyer will proceed with the transaction which will be sent to our
wallet’s address and after the delivery of the item is confirmed, we will send money to
the seller. Once an auction has been started, the user can place his bid and after a time
interval he will be notified if his bid was the highest bid. Afterwards, the sending and
receiving transaction between both parties is performed. The flutter uses Dart which
will be used for application design including the implementation of the features. For
keeping the records in the database, we are using firebase. The proposed application
will assist many users for searching and buying any product without leaking their
privacy
