A (k, n) threshold digital signature scheme is proposed by integrating digital signature scheme with Shamir secret sharing scheme. It can realize group-oriented digital signature, and its security is based on the difficulty in computing discrete logarithm and quadratic residue on some special conditions. In this scheme, effective digital signature can not be generated by anyk?1 or fewer legal users, or only by signature executive. In addition, this scheme can identify any legal user who presents incorrect partial digital signature to disrupt correct signature, or any illegal user who forges digital signature. A method of extending this scheme to an Abelian group such as elliptical curve group is also discussed. The extended scheme can provide rapider computing speed and stronger security in the case of using shorter key.

This paper first presents a new blind signature scheme from Weil pairing on elliptic curves. Based on this scheme, a threshold blind signature scheme is proposed. It is efficient and has the security properties of robustness and unforgeability. In the proposed scheme, the group manger is introduced to take the role of distributing the group secret key to each player. However, he cannot forge the players to generate partial blind signatures (Each partial blind signature depends on not only the secret key of the player, but also a random number the player picks). Compared with a threshold signature with a trusted third party, its advantage is obvious; Compared with a threshold signature without a trusted third party, it is more simple and efficient.展开更多

In this paper,a new group signature scheme,decisional linear assumption group signature(DLAGS for short) with NIZK proofs is proposed which can prove and sign the multiple values rather than individual bits based on DLIN assumption. DLAGS does not need to interact between the verifier and issuer,which can decrease the communication times and storage cost compared with the existing interactive group signature schemes. We prove and sign the blocks of messages instead of limiting the proved message to only one bit(0 or 1) in the conventional non-interactive zero-knowledge proof system,and we also prove that our scheme satisfy the property of anonymity,unlinkability and traceability. Finally,our scheme is compared with the other scheme(Benoitt's scheme) which is also based on the NIZK proofs system and the DLIN assumption,and the results show that our scheme requires fewer members of groups and computational times.展开更多

A group signature scheme allows members of a group to anonymously sign misuse, the anonymity messages. To counter can be revoked by the group manager. The group joining operation is a critical component of group signature scheme, the framing attack can be prevented by group joining processes. This paper presents an efficient group signature scheme with a simple joining protocol that is based on a "single message and signature response" interaction between the prospective user and the group manager. The security of our group signature is based on the Discrete Logarithm assumption and Decisional Linear Diffie- Hellman assumption. The formal security proof of our scheme is given in the random oracle model. Our scheme is also a very efficient short group signature scheme with efficient concurrent join.展开更多
