文摘This paper proposes a new proactive weighted threshold signature scheme based on Iflene＇s general secret sharing, the generalized Chinese remainder theorem, and the RSA threshold signature, which is itself based on the Chinese reminder theorem. In our scheme, group members are divided into different subgroups, and a positive weight is associated to each subgroup, where all members of the same subgroup have the same weight. The group signature can be generated if and only if the sum of the weights of members involved is greater than or equal to a fixed threshold value. Meanwhile, the private key of the group members and the public key of the group can be updated periodically by performing a simple operation aimed at refreshing the group signature message. This periodical refreshed individual signature message can enhance the security of the proposed weighted threshold signature scheme.
