Unique Ring Signatures: A Practical Construction
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose unique ring signatures that simplify and capture the spirit of linkable ring signatures. We provide an instantiation which can be more tightly related to the CDH problem and DDH problem in the random oracle model, leading to the most efficient linkable/unique ring signature.

Asymmetric Concurrent Signatures
The concept of concurrent signatures allows two entities to produce two signatures in such a way that, the signer of each signature is ambiguous from a third party’s point of view until the release of a secret, known as the keystone. Once the keystone is released, both signatures become binding to their respective signers concurrently. Previous concurrent signature schemes use the concept of ri...
متن کاملTwo-Party (Blind) Ring Signatures and Their Applications
Ring signatures, introduced by Rivest, Shamir and Tauman, attest the fact that one member from a ring of signers has endorsed the message but no one can identify who from the ring is actually responsible for its generation. It was designed canonically for secret leaking. Since then, various applications have been discovered. For instance, it is a building block of optimistic fair exchange, dest...
متن کاملSeparable Identity-Based Ring Signatures: Theoretical Foundations For Fighting Phishing Attacks
Email phishing attacks are one of today’s most common and costly forms of digital identity theft, where an adversary tricks a user into revealing their personal information by impersonating an established company. Such attacks could be mitigated with digitally-signed emails, if these signatures did not: (1) destroy the traditional repudiability of email, and (2) require the unrealistic, widespr...
متن کاملMulti-designated Verifiers Signatures
Designated verifier signatures were introduced in the middle of the 90’s by Jakobsson, Sako and Impagliazzo, and independenty patended by Chaum as private signatures. In this setting, a signature can only be verified by a unique and specific user. At Crypto’03, Desmedt suggested the problem of generalizing the designated verifier signatures. In this case, a signature should be intended to a spe...
متن کاملShort Accountable Ring Signatures Based on DDH
Ring signatures and group signatures are prominent cryptographic primitives offering a combination of privacy and authentication. They enable individual users to anonymously sign messages on behalf of a group of users. In ring signatures, the group, i.e. the ring, is chosen in an ad hoc manner by the signer. In group signatures, group membership is controlled by a group manager. Group signature...
