This paper is devoted to the design and analysis of short undeniable signatures based on a random oracle. Exploiting their online property, we can achieve signatures with a fully scalable size depending on the security level. To this end, we develop a gene ...
The aim of the invention is to propose the generation, verification and denial of an undeniable signature which has a size smaller than the currently available undeniable signatures, i.e. less than 80 bits. This aim is achieved by the method to generate an ...
Passports are now equipped with RFID chips that contain private information, biometric data, and a digital signature by issuing authorities. We review most of applicable security and privacy issues. We argue that the main privacy issue is not unauthorized ...
This article presents optimization results on the MOVA undeniable signature scheme presented last year by Monnerat and Vaudenay at PKC'04 as well as its generalization proposed at Asiacrypt'04 which is based on a secret group homomorphism. The original MOV ...
Releasing a classical digital signature faces to privacy issues. Indeed, there are cases where the prover needs to authenticate some data without making it possible for any malicious verifier to transfer the proof to anyone else. It is for instance the cas ...
Attempting to reach a minimal number of moves in cryptographic protocols is a quite classical issue. Besides the theoretical interests, minimizing the number of moves can clearly facilitate practical implementations in environments with communication const ...
Digital signatures are one of the main achievements of public-key cryptography and constitute a fundamental tool to ensure data authentication. Although their universal verifiability has the advantage to facilitate their verification by the recipient, this ...
This article revisits the original designated confirmer signature scheme of Chaum. Following the same spirit we naturally extend the Chaum's construction in a more general setting and analyze its security in a formal way. We prove its security in the rando ...
In 1999, Smart has shown how to solve in linear time ECDLP for elliptic curves of trace 1 defined over a prime finite field Fp, the so-called anomalous elliptic curves. In this article, we show how to construct such cryptographically weak curves for primes ...
