چکیده

Digital signatures have been used in Internet applications to provide data authentication and non-repudiation services. Digital signatures will keep on playing an important role in future Internet applications. There are two most well-known public-key cryptosystems, the RSA scheme and the ElGamal scheme, which can provide both digital signature and data encryption. More recently, the Elliptic Curve Cryptosystem (ECC), in which the difficulty of breaking the system is based on the difficulty of computing a discrete logarithm over an elliptic curve, has also been considered to become a standard in the IEEE P1363 project. The ECC shares many similar features with the ElGamal cryptographic system. In this paper, we want to show that, (a) there are variants of elliptic curve digital signatures, and (b) in addition to provide non-repudiation services, there are several interesting accessories associated with discrete-logarithm based digital signatures. These accessories have important features, such as providing subliminal channels, providing multisignatures, and providing batch verification, etc. In better understanding of these features, we can select digital signature schemes with additional features.

New Elliptic Curve Digital Multi-Signature Schemes for Multi-Section Messages

In this paper, we first present a new elliptic curve digital signature schemes, which are suitable for multisignature. Then, we propose a new concept of multi-signature for multi-section messages, where any one of a group can sign different sections of a message. Keywords-elliptic curve, multi-signatures, multi-section messages;

Deterministic Usage of the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) and Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA)

This document defines a deterministic digital signature generation procedure. Such signatures are compatible with standard Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) and Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) digital signatures and can be processed with unmodified verifiers, which need not be aware of the procedure described therein. Deterministic signatures retain the cryptographic security...

Pitfalls in Public Key Watermarking

The cryptographic concept of digital signatures is well suited to image watermarking for authentication and integrity veri cation. However, the peculiar nature of watermarks demands special care in the application of digital signatures for this purpose. Here we cryptanalyze a recently proposed watermarking scheme and show how it can be strengthened to thwart our attacks, exploring the use of ha...
