Global Duality, Signature Calculus and the Discrete Logarithm Problem

چکیده
We study the discrete logarithm problem for the multiplicative group and for elliptic curves over a finite field by using a lifting of the corresponding object to an algebraic number field and global duality. We introduce the signature of a Dirichlet character (in the multiplicative group case) or principal homogeneous space (in the elliptic curve case), which is a measure of the ramification at certain places. We then develop signature calculus, which generalizes and refines the index calculus method. Finally, we show the random polynomial time equivalence for these two cases between the problem of computing signatures and the discrete logarithm problem.

The new protocol blind digital signature based on the discrete logarithm problem on elliptic curve
In recent years it has been trying that with regard to the question of computational complexity of discrete logarithm more strength and less in the elliptic curve than other hard issues, applications such as elliptic curve cryptography, a blind digital signature method, other methods such as encryption replacement DLP. In this paper, a new blind digital signature scheme based on elliptic curve...
متن کاملAn efficient blind signature scheme based on the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem
Elliptic Curve Cryptosystems (ECC) have recently received significant attention by researchers due to their high performance such as low computational cost and small key size. In this paper a novel untraceable blind signature scheme is presented. Since the security of proposed method is based on difficulty of solving discrete logarithm over an elliptic curve, performance of the proposed scheme ...
متن کاملSignature Calculus and the Discrete Logarithm Problem for Elliptic Curves (Preliminary Version)
This is the third in a series of papers in which we develop a unified method for treating the discrete logarithm problem (DLP) in various contexts. In [HR1], we described a formalism using global duality for a unified approach to the DLP for the multiplicative group and for elliptic curves over finite fields. The main tool to be employed is what we call signature calculus. In [HR2], we used sig...
متن کاملDouble voter perceptible blind signature based electronic voting protocol
Mu et al. have proposed an electronic voting protocol and claimed that it protects anonymity of voters, detects double voting and authenticates eligible voters. It has been shown that it does not protect voter's privacy and prevent double voting. After that, several schemes have been presented to fulfill these properties. However, many of them suffer from the same weaknesses. In this p...
متن کاملGeneralized Jacobian and Discrete Logarithm Problem on Elliptic Curves
Let E be an elliptic curve over the finite field F_{q}, P a point in E(F_{q}) of order n, and Q a point in the group generated by P. The discrete logarithm problem on E is to find the number k such that Q = kP. In this paper we reduce the discrete logarithm problem on E[n] to the discrete logarithm on the group F*_{q} , the multiplicative group of nonzero elements of Fq, in the case where n | q...
