In this paper,a new multi-proxy signature scheme is proposed. The new scheme is constructed from bilinear pairings using Boneh,Lynn,and Shacham’s (BLS) short signatures. The proxy key for the proxy group is just a short signature on the proxy warrant generated by the original signer. Due to the use of short signatures,our scheme is not only efficient,but also satisfies all the security requirements of the strong proxy signature.展开更多
