文摘Proxy signature is a special digital signature which enables a proxy signer to sign messages on behalf of the original signer. This paper proposes a strongly secure proxy signature scheme and a secure multi-proxy signature scheme based on elliptic curve cryptosystem. Contrast with universal proxy signature schemes, they are secure against key substitute attack even if there is not a certificate authority in the system, and also secure against the original signer's forgery attack.
