Universal forgery on a group signature scheme using self-certified public keys
نویسنده
چکیده
A group signature scheme allows any group member to sign messages on behalf of the group in an anonymous and unlinkable fashion. In the event of a dispute, a designated group manager can reveal the identity of the signer. In 1999, Tseng and Jan proposed a group signature scheme using self-certified public keys. By attacking their signature verification equation, we demonstrate that their scheme is universally forgeable, i.e., anybody can forge a valid group signature on any message such that the group manager is unable to determine the identity of the signer. 2003 Elsevier B.V.

On the Linkability of Some Group Signature Schemes
A group signature scheme is a digital signature scheme that allows a group member to sign messages anonymously on behalf of the group. Recently, Tseng and Jan proposed two group signature schemes based on self-certified and ID-based public keys respectively. However, these two schemes were shown to be insecure against forgery due to Joye et al. Later, Sun et al. showed that Tseng and Jan’s self...
متن کاملImprovement of Threshold Signature Using Self-certified Public Keys
A (t, n) threshold signature scheme allows any t or more signers to cooperatively sign messages on behalf of a group, but t − 1 or fewer signers cannot. Wu and Hsu recently proposed a new (t, n) threshold signature scheme using self-certified public keys. In their scheme, the authentication of the self-certified individual/group public keys can be confirmed simultaneously in the procedure of ve...
متن کاملOn the Security of Digital Signature Schemes Based on Error-Correcting Codes
In this paper we discuss the security of digital signature schemes based on error– correcting codes. Several attacks to the Xinmei scheme are surveyed, and some reasons given to explain why the Xinmei scheme failed, such as the linearity of the signature and the redundancy of public keys. Another weakness is found in the Alabbadi–Wicker scheme, which results in a universal forgery attack agains...
متن کاملA Threshold Proxy Signature Scheme Using Self-Certified Public Keys
A (t, n) threshold proxy signature scheme enables an original signer to delegate his/her signing capability to n proxy signers such that any t or more proxy signers can sign messages on behalf of the original signer, but t−1 or less of them cannot do the same thing. Threshold proxy signatures have been suggested for use in the scenarios of distributed computing where delegation of rights is qui...
متن کاملPublic Key Replacement and Universal Forgery of a SCLS Scheme
Certificateless cryptography eliminates the need of certificates in the PKI and solves the inherent key escrow problem in the ID-based cryptography. Recently, Du and Wen proposed a short certificateless signature scheme (SCLS) without MapToPoint hash function, and the signature size is short enough with only half of the DSA signature. In this paper, after the detailing the formal of certificate...
