To solve this problem, we presented a Trusted Platform Module (TPM)-based threshold ring signature schen. Employing a reliable secret Share Distribution Center (SDC), the proposed approach can authenticate the TPM-based identity rank of members of the ring but not track a specific member's identity. A subset including t members with the same identity rank is built. With the signing cooperation of t members of the subset, the ring signature based on Chinese remainder theorem is generated. We proved the anonymity and unforgeability of the proposed scheme and compared it with the threshold ring signature based on Lagrange interpolation polynomial. Our scheme is relatively simpler to calculate.展开更多
