Abstract

Proxy signatures are signature schemes that a signer (called original signer) delegates his signing capability to other people (called proxy signer), and the proxy signer creates signatures on behalf of the original signer. In application such as electronic voting and electronic commerce, the privacy may be concerned by the original signer. The original signer may hope that the proxy signers can sign on behalf of him without knowing the content of the signed message. Few efforts have been put on privacy protection of original signer in existed proxy signature schemes. In this paper, a privacy-protecting proxy signature scheme is proposed. In this scheme, the messages the original signer entrust to the proxy signer to sign on behalf of him are secret from the proxy signer during the generation of the proxy signature and from other people except the receiver designated by the original signer. Therefore, the privacy of the original signer is protected. The security of the proposed signature scheme is analyzed and its application to electronic voting is described.

The security of a strong proxy signature scheme with proxy signer privacy protection

In 1996, Mambo et al. first introduced the concept of a proxy signature scheme, and discussed the delegation of the signing capability to a proxy signer. In 2001, Lee et al. constructed a strong non-designated proxy signature scheme. In 2002, Shum and ...
A Provably Secure Proxy Signature Scheme in Certificateless Cryptography

A proxy signature scheme enables an original signer to delegate its signing capability to a proxy signer and then the proxy signer can sign a message on behalf of the original signer. Recently, in order to eliminate the use of certificates in certified ...
Designated verifier proxy signature scheme without random oracles

In a designated verifier proxy signature scheme, one can delegate his or her signing capability to another user in such a way that the latter can sign messages on behalf of the former, but the validity of the resulting signatures can only be verified by ...
