Unfortunately, all of these ID-based ring signatures are constructed from bilinear pairings, a powerful but computationally expensive primitive. Hence, ID-based ring signature without pairing is of great interest in the field of cryptography. In this paper, the authors firstly propose an ID-based ring signature scheme based on quadratic residues. The proposed scheme is proved to be existentially unforgeable against adaptive chosen message-and-identity attack under the random oracle model, assuming the hardness of factoring. The proposed scheme is more efficient than those which are constructed from bilinear pairings.展开更多
