On the Construction of Efficient Private Signature Scheme

Abstract:

Private signature is a signature which provides signature privacy and restricted transference. Using the private scheme a user can sign a message in such a way that only a designated verifier can verify the signature. In some cases, the signer may want to preserve the privacy forever, which means that the initial verifier should not be able to convince anyone else of the fact that the signer signed the message. In some other cases, the signer may want to give the initial verifier the possibility to transfer his conviction to someone else, if desired. In this paper we first review the private signatures proposed by Javier Herranz, and point its drawback. Then we propose efficient private signature by combining a secure signature scheme and a non-interactive one-way key agreement.
