Query: Establishing Trust in Online Advertising with Signed Transactions   Programmatic advertising operates one of the most sophisticated and efficient
service platforms on the Internet. However, the complexity of this ecosystem is
a direct cause of one of the most important problems in online advertising, the
lack of transparency. This lack of transparency enables subsequent problems
such as advertising fraud, which causes billions of dollars in losses. In this
paper we propose Ads.chain, a technological solution to the
lack-of-transparency problem in programmatic advertising. Ads.chain extends the
current effort of the Internet Advertising Bureau (IAB) in providing
traceability in online advertising through the Ads.txt and Ads.cert solutions,
addressing the limitations of these techniques. Ads.chain is (to the best of
the authors' knowledge) the first solution that provides end-to-end
cryptographic traceability at the ad transaction level. It is a communication
protocol that can be seamlessly embedded into ad-tags and the OpenRTB protocol,
the de-facto standards for communications in online advertising, allowing an
incremental adoption by the industry. We have implemented Ads.chain and made
the code publicly available. We assess the performance of Ads.chain through a
thorough analysis in a lab environment that emulates a real ad delivery process
at real-life throughputs. The obtained results show that Ads.chain can be
implemented with limited impact on the hardware resources and marginal delay
increments at the publishers lower than 0.20 milliseconds per ad space on
webpages and 2.6 milliseconds at the programmatic advertising platforms. These
results confirm that Ads.chain's impact on the user experience and the overall
operation of the programmatic ad delivery process can be considered negligible.
