Blind multi-signature scheme based on factoring and discrete logarithm problem
One of the important objectives of information security systems is providing authentication of the electronic documents and messages. In that, blind signature schemes are an important solution to protect the privacy of users in security electronic transactions by highlighting the anonymity of participating parties. Many studies have focused on blind signature schemes, however, most of the studied schemes are based on single computationally difficult problem. Also digital signature schemes from two difficult problems were proposed but the fact is that only finding solution to single hard problem then these digital signature schemes are breakable. In this paper, we propose a new signature schemes base on the combination of the RSA and Schnorr signature schemes which are based on two hard problems: IFP and DLP. Then expanding to propose a single blind signature scheme, a blind multi-signature scheme, which are based on new baseline schemes
A Digital Signature Scheme for Long-Term Security
In this paper we propose a signature scheme based on two intractable
problems, namely the integer factorization problem and the discrete logarithm
problem for elliptic curves. It is suitable for applications requiring
long-term security and provides a more efficient solution than the existing
ones
Ring Learning With Errors: A crossroads between postquantum cryptography, machine learning and number theory
The present survey reports on the state of the art of the different
cryptographic functionalities built upon the ring learning with errors problem
and its interplay with several classical problems in algebraic number theory.
The survey is based to a certain extent on an invited course given by the
author at the Basque Center for Applied Mathematics in September 2018.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1508.01375 by other
authors/ comment of the author: quotation has been added to Theorem 5.
On the security of digital signature schemes based on error-correcting codes
We discuss the security of digital signature schemes based on error-correcting codes. Several attacks to the Xinmei scheme are surveyed, and some reasons given to explain why the Xinmei scheme failed, such as the linearity of the signature and the redundancy of public keys. Another weakness is found in the Alabbadi-Wicker scheme, which results in a universal forgery attack against it. This attack shows that the Alabbadi-Wicker scheme fails to implement the necessary property of a digital signature scheme: it is infeasible to find a false signature algorithm D from the public verification algorithm E such that E(D*(m)) = m for all messages m. Further analysis shows that this new weakness also applies to the Xinmei scheme
Making Existential-Unforgeable Signatures Strongly Unforgeable in the Quantum Random-Oracle Model
Strongly unforgeable signature schemes provide a more stringent security
guarantee than the standard existential unforgeability. It requires that not
only forging a signature on a new message is hard, it is infeasible as well to
produce a new signature on a message for which the adversary has seen valid
signatures before. Strongly unforgeable signatures are useful both in practice
and as a building block in many cryptographic constructions.
This work investigates a generic transformation that compiles any
existential-unforgeable scheme into a strongly unforgeable one, which was
proposed by Teranishi et al. and was proven in the classical random-oracle
model. Our main contribution is showing that the transformation also works
against quantum adversaries in the quantum random-oracle model. We develop
proof techniques such as adaptively programming a quantum random-oracle in a
new setting, which could be of independent interest. Applying the
transformation to an existential-unforgeable signature scheme due to Cash et
al., which can be shown to be quantum-secure assuming certain lattice problems
are hard for quantum computers, we get an efficient quantum-secure strongly
unforgeable signature scheme in the quantum random-oracle model.Comment: 15 pages, to appear in Proceedings TQC 201
