In this paper, we present a cryptanalysis of the scheme and show that the signature scheme does not satisfy the property of unforgeability as claimed. More precisely, a user can forge a valid message-signature pair (ID, msg, info', σ') instead of the original one (ID, msg, info, σ), where info is the original common agreed information and info'≠info. Therefore, it will be much dangerous if Wang-Tang-Li's ID-RPBS scheme is applied to the off-line electronic cash system. For example, a bank is supposed to issue an electronic coin (or bill) of $100 to a user, while the user can change the denomination of the coin (bill) to any value, say $100 000 000, at his will.展开更多

However, the existing electronic cash schemes are constructed under CA-PKC, and there seems no electronic cash scheme under ID-PKC up to now to the best of our knowledge. It is important to study how to construct electronic cash schemes based on ID-PKC from views on both practical perspective and pure research issue. In this paper, we present a simpler and provably secure ID-based restrictive partially blind signature (RPBS), and then propose an ID-based fair off-line electronic cash (ID-FOLC) scheme with multiple banks based on the proposed ID-based RPBS. The proposed ID-FOLC scheme with multiple banks is more efficient than existing electronic cash schemes with multiple banks based on group blind signature.展开更多
