Proxy Blind Signature using Hyperelliptic Curve Cryptography

Blind signature is the concept to ensure anonymity of e-coins. Untracebility and unlinkability are two main properties of real coins and should also be mimicked electronically. A user has to fulll above two properties of blind signature for permission to spend an e-coin. During the last few years, asymmetric cryptosystems based on curve based cryptographiy have become very popular, especially for embedded applications. Elliptic curves(EC) are a special case of hyperelliptic curves (HEC). HEC operand size is only a fraction of the EC operand size. HEC cryptography needs a group order of size at least 2160. In particular, for a curve of genus two eld Fq with p 280 is needeed. Therefore, the eld arithmetic has to be performed using 80-bit long operands. Which is much better than the RSA using 1024 bit key length. The hyperelliptic curve is best suited for the resource constraint environments. It uses lesser key and provides more secure transmisstion of data

New Blind Muti-signature Schemes based on ECDLP

In various types of electronic transactions, including election systems and digital cash schemes, user anonymity and authentication are always required. Blind signatures are considered the most important solutions to meeting these requirements. Many studies have focused on blind signature schemes; however, most of the studied schemes are single blind signature schemes. Although blind multi-signature schemes are available, few studies have focused on these schemes. In this article, blind multi-signature schemes are proposed based on the Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem (ECDLP). The proposed schemes are based on the GOST R34.10-2012 digital signature standard and the EC-Schnorr digital signature scheme, and they satisfy blind multi-signature security requirements and have better computational performance than previously proposed schemes. The proposed schemes can be applied in election systems and digital cash schemes

Certificateless and provably-secure digital signature scheme based on elliptic curve

With the internet today available at the user’s beck, and call data or Information Security plays a vital role. Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability, and Non-repudiation are the pillars of security on which every application on the web is based on. With these basic requirements the users also need the security in low resource constrained environments making it more challenging for the security experts to design secured cryptographic algorithms. Digital Signatures play a pivotal role in Authentication. They help in verifying the integrity of the data being exchanged. Elliptical curves are the strongest contenders in Digital Signatures, and much research is being done to enhance the method in many ways. The paper briefs a secured and improved ECDSA Elliptical Curve Digital Signature Algorithm which is an improved and secured version of the Digital Signature Algorithm

A review on structured scheme representation on data security application

With the rapid development in the era of Internet and networking technology, there is always a requirement to improve the security systems, which secure the transmitted data over an unsecured channel. The needs to increase the level of security in transferring the data always become the critical issue. Therefore, data security is a significant area in covering the issue of security, which refers to protect the data from unwanted forces and prevent unauthorized access to a communication. This paper presents a review of structured-scheme representation for data security application. There are five structured-scheme types, which can be represented as dual-scheme, triple-scheme, quad-scheme, octal-scheme and hexa-scheme. These structured-scheme types are designed to improve and strengthen the security of data on the application

Proxy Blind Multi-signature Scheme using ECC for handheld devices

A proxy blind signature scheme is a special form of blind signature which allowed a designated person called proxy signer to sign on behalf of two or more original signers without knowing the content of the message or document. It combines the advantages of proxy signature, blind signature and multi-signature scheme. This paper describes an e±cient proxy blind multi-signature scheme. The security of the proposed schemes is based on the di±culty of breaking the one-way hash function and the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem (ECDLP). This can be implemented in low power and small processor handheld devices such as smart card, PDA etc which work in low power and small processor. This scheme utilizes a trusted third party called certificate authority to ensure that signatures can only be generated during valid delegation period. It satisfies the security properties of both proxy and blind signature scheme
