In contrast with traditional cryptographic protocols in which parties can have access to common third parties, and where at least one of them is assumed to be honest, we propose here a new model which is relevant for networks of communication devices with security modules. We then focus on the problem of fair exchange in this model. We propose a probabilistic protocol which provides arbitrarily low unfairness (involving a complexity cost).
