The self-blindable U-Prove scheme by Hanzlik and Kluczniak is forgeable

چکیده
In [HK14] an unlinkable version of the U-Prove attribute-based credential scheme is proposed. Unfortunately, the new scheme is forgeable: if sufficiently many users work together then they can construct new credentials, containing any set of attributes of their choice, without any involvement of the issuer. In this note we show how they can achieve this and we point out the error in the unforgeability proof.

The Self-blindable U-Prove Scheme from FC'14 Is Forgeable (Short Paper)
Recently an unlinkable version of the U-Prove attributebased credential scheme was proposed at Financial Crypto ’14 [9]. Unfortunately, the new scheme is forgeable: if sufficiently many users work together then they can construct new credentials, containing any set of attributes of their choice, without any involvement of the issuer. In this note we show how they can achieve this and we point o...
متن کاملA Short Paper on How to Improve U-Prove Using Self-Blindable Certificates
U-Prove is a credential system that allows users to disclose information about themselves in a minimalistic way. Roughly speaking, in the U-Prove system a user obtains certified cryptographic tokens containing a set of attributes and is able to disclose a subset of his attributes to a verifier, while hiding the undisclosed attributes. In U-prove the actual identity of a token holder is hidden f...
متن کاملOn Linkability and Malleability in Self-blindable Credentials
Self-blindable credential schemes allow users to anonymously prove ownership of credentials. This is achieved by randomizing the credential before each showing in such a way that it still remains valid. As a result, each time a different version of the same credential is presented. A number of such schemes have been proposed, but unfortunately many of them are broken, in the sense that they are...
متن کاملSelf-blindable Credential: Towards Anonymous Entity Authentication Upon Resource Constrained Devices
We are witnessing the rapid expansion of smart devices in our daily life. The need for individual privacy protection calls for anonymous entity authentication techniques with affordable efficiency upon the resource-constrained smart devices. Towards this objective, in this paper we propose self-blindable credential, a lightweight anonymous entity authentication primitive. We provide a formulati...
متن کاملQuantum messages with signatures forgeable in arbitrated quantum signature schemes
Even though a method to perfectly sign quantum messages has not been known, the arbitrated quantum signature scheme has been considered as one of good candidates. However, its forgery problem has been an obstacle to the scheme being a successful method. In this paper, we consider one situation, which is slightly different from the forgery problem, that we check whether at least one quantum mess...
