Anonymous signature scheme
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order to hide the identity of a signer, an anonymous signature scheme is presented in this paper. In this scheme, a signer located in a specified group produces a signature on behalf of the group. The recipient can verify whether the signature is valid and comes from the specified group, while tracing the signature to its source is impossible. The proposed anonymous signature is similarly to ring signature in some respects, for example, there is no manager, and no revocation mechanism against signer’s anonymity. The most different between these two kinds of signatures is that the group in ring signature is adaptively constructed by the signer, while the group in our scheme is fixed.

An Efficient Secure Anonymous Proxy Signature Scheme
Proxy signature schemes can be used in many business applications such as when the original signer is not present to sign important documents. Any proxy signature scheme has to meet the identifiability, undeniability, verifiability and unforgeability security requirements. In some conditions, it may be necessary to protect the proxy signer’s privacy from outsiders or third parties. Recently, se...
متن کاملAnonymous Signatures Revisited
We revisit the notion of the anonymous signature, first formalized by Yang, Wong, Deng and Wang [12], and then further developed by Fischlin [6] and Zhang and Imai [13]. We present a new formalism of anonymous signature, where instead of the message, a part of the signature is withheld to maintain anonymity. We introduce the notion unpretendability to guarantee infeasibility for someone other t...
متن کاملAn Anonymous Communication Scheme based on Ring Signature in VANETs
Vehicular ad hoc networks allow vehicles to connect themselves as networks so that cars could communicate with each other. This paper introduces an anonymous communication scheme providing integrity protection, multi-level privacy and auditability. The scheme is based on a certificateless ring signature proposed in this paper, which is contributed to reduce the length of the signature and simpl...
متن کاملAnonymous authentication scheme based on identity-based proxy group signature for wireless mesh network
Access security is the key obstacle of the rapid popularization of wireless mesh network (WMN). We suggest the proxy group signature scheme based on identity in this paper. This scheme is combined with proxy group signature and identity-based group signature, based on designated hierarchical proxy architecture for WMN. An anonymous mutual authentication scheme is thus achieved, which not only s...
متن کاملControllable Ring Signatures and Its Application to E-Prosecution
This paper introduces a new concept called controllable ring signature which is ring signature with additional properties as follow. (1) Anonymous identifica-tion: by an anonymous identification protocol, the real signer can anonymously prove his authorship of the ring signature to the verifier. And this proof is non-transferable. (2) Linkable signature: the real signer can generate an anonymou...
