Cryptanalysis of the Hwang-Shi Proxy Signature Scheme
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recently, Hwang and Shi proposed an efficient proxy signature scheme without using one-way hash functions. In their scheme, an original signer needn’t send a proxy certificate to a proxy signer through secure channels. However, there are two public key substitution methods can be used to attack their scheme. In this article, we show that their scheme is vulnerable to the public key substitution attacks.

Cryptanalysis of Nonrepudiable Threshold Proxy Signature Schemes with Known Signers
Sun’s nonrepudiation threshold proxy signature scheme is not secure against the collusion attack. In order to guard against the attack, Hwang et al. proposed another threshold proxy signature scheme. However, a new attack is proposed to work on both Hwang et al.’s and Sun’s schemes. By executing this attack, one proxy signer and the original signer can forge any valid proxy signature. Therefore...
متن کاملCryptanalysis of a Threshold Proxy Signature Scheme∗
A (t, n) threshold proxy signature scheme allows t or more proxy signers out of a designated group of n proxy signers to sign messages on behalf of an original signer. Recently, Hwang et al. proposed a new (t, n) threshold proxy signature scheme based on the RSA cryptosystem. In this paper, we show that their scheme is insecure against the original signer’s forgery and the general forgery.
متن کاملCryptanalysis of a threshold proxy signature with known signers
A scheme of threshold proxy signature with known signers was proposed by Hwang et al. In their scheme, the receiver can identify the proxy signers that actually generated a proxy signature. Tzeng et al. demonstrated that this signature scheme is insecure and proposed an improvement to mend the information leakage. This paper shows that the improved scheme is still insecure under the original si...
متن کاملImproved Non-Repudiable Threshold Proxy Signature Scheme with Known Signers
In 2001, Hsu et al. proposed a non-repudiable threshold proxy signature with known signers. In their scheme, the proxy group cannot deny having signed the proxy signature if they did. However, Hsu et al.’s scheme is vulnerable to some attacks. A malicious original signer or malicious proxy signer can impersonate some other proxy signers to generate proxy signatures. In this article, we shall pr...
متن کاملAttacks on a threshold proxy signature scheme based on the RSA cryptosystem
Recently, Hwang et al. propose an efficient (t, n) threshold proxy signature scheme in which the original signer can authorize n proxy signers such that only the cooperation of t or more of them is able to generate a proxy signature on behalf of the original signer. Their scheme is based on the RSA cryptosystem. They claim that any t out of n proxy signers cannot derive the original signer’s pr...
