Abstract

Group signature allows any valid group member to sign any number of messages on behalf of the group without revealing the member identity. The group manager can reveal the identity of the signer in the case of a dispute. Most of the group signatures are based on traditional cryptography, such as RSA, ECC and discrete logarithm. But these schemes would be easily broken if quantum computers emerge. In this paper, we propose a new identity based group signature. Our signature scheme is based on bilinear maps. This identity based scheme has the security properties of group signatures. In this scheme the size of the group pubic key and the length of signatures are independent on the size of the group. This scheme is well suited for large groups. Using the same key pair the group member can sign many messages.

Quantum group signature scheme based on controlled quantum teleportation

F. L. Chen, Zhaowei Han

Group signature scheme is a method of allowing a member of a group to sign a message anonymously on behalf of the group. The group administrator is in charge of adding group members and has the ability to reveal the original signer in the event of disputes. Based on controlled quantum teleportation with three-particle entangled W states, we propose a new quantum group signature scheme with designated receiver. Security analysis proves that the proposed scheme possesses the characteristics of group signature and resists the usual attacks. Compared with previous proposed schemes, this scheme follows security definition of group signature fully and meets its basic requirements.

ID-based one round authenticated group key agreement protocol with bilinear pairings

Yijuan Shi, Gongliang Chen, Jianhua Li

Authenticated group key agreement is important in many modern collaborative and distributed applications. Recently, identity-based authenticated group key agreement has been increasingly researched because of the simplicity of a public key management. Basically, these protocols provide authentication by signatures. Hence they are less efficient for the verification of signatures creates additional computational overhead. In the paper, we propose an efficient authenticated group key agreement protocol by introducing a modified identity-based public key infrastructure with new system setup and key extraction algorithms. The security of our protocol is assured by the discrete logarithm assumption. Moreover, our protocol requires only one round and is more efficient than all previously known ones since it provides authentication without using signatures.

An Approach to Secure Authentication Protocol with Group Signature based Quantum Cryptography

V. Padmavathi, M. Madhavi, N.V.S. Nagalakshmi

Abstract-This paper proposes a secure authentication protocol in a new direction with group signature based Quantum cryptography for a networked organization. The group signature setting has a group with copious members and one manager. The proposed protocol uses a trusted centre TC generates a large heap of public/private key pairs. Every member of the group has a different list of unique private keys which is distributed by TC to sign a document. The keys are immunable using quantum key distribution protocol which acquires the properties of quantum mechanics. Keywords- group signature, public/private key, quantum cryptography, quantum key distribution protocol QKDP, Trusted Center TC. I.

Lattice-based group signatures with forward security for anonymous authentication

Simin Chen, Jiageng Chen

Group signatures allow users to sign messages on behalf of a group without revealing authority is capable of identifying the user who generated it. However, the exposure of the user's signing key will severely damage the group signature scheme. In order to reduce the loss caused by signing key leakage, Song proposed the first forward-secure group signature. If a group signing key is revealed at the current time period, the previous signing key will not be affected. This means that the attacker cannot forge group signatures regarding messages signed in the past. To resist quantum attacks, many lattice-based forward-secure group signatures have been proposed. However, their key-update algorithm is expensive since they require some costly computations such as the Hermite normal form (HNF) operations and conversion from a full-rank set of lattice vectors into a basis. In this paper, we propose the group signature with forward security from lattice. In comparison with previous works, we have several advantages: Firstly, our scheme is more effective since we only need to sample some vectors independently from a discrete Gaussian during the key-update algorithm. Secondly, the derived secret key size is linear instead of quadratic with the lattice dimensions, which is more friendly towards lightweight applications. Anonymous authentication plays an increasingly critical role in protecting privacy and security in the environment where private information could be collected for intelligent analysis. Our work contributes to the anonymous authentication in the post-quantum setting, which has wide potential applications in the IoT environment.

A new quantum group blind signature scheme based on GHZ states

Z. Hu, Yumin Dong

With the development of quantum computers, traditional communication security based on classical computers can no longer guarantee unconditional security. At the same time, a series of encrypted communication solutions that rely on quantum mechanical properties have been spawned. This article focuses on the field of quantum signatures, based on the entangled Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger state, combining group signatures (any member of the group can sign on behalf of the group) and blind signatures (the signer cannot know the accuracy of the signature content) proposed a new quantum group blind signature scheme that utilizes quantum key distribution to achieve unconditional security. By splitting the original message, the scheme strengthens the relevance of the signature participants and makes the signature to have stronger binding. Then, the security of the scheme against internal and external attacks is analyzed. In this scheme, a pleasing efficiency has been achieved, and the non-repudiation of signatures has been enhanced. At the same time, disputed signatures can be traced back to the signer.

Identity-Based Authenticated Asymmetric Group Key Agreement Protocol.

Lei Zhang, Qianhong Wu, Bo Qin +1 more

Abstract. In identity-based public-key cryptography, an entity’s public key can be easily derived from its identity. The direct derivation of public keys in identity-based public-key cryptography eliminates the need for certificates and solves certain public key management problems in traditional public-key cryptosystems. Recently, the notion of asymmetric group key agreement was introduced, in which the group members merely negotiate a common encryption key which is accessible to any entity, but they hold respective secret decryption keys. In this paper, we first propose a security model for identity-based authenticated asymmetric group key agreement (IB-AAGKA) protocols. We then propose an IB-AAGKA protocol which is proven secure under the Bilinear Diffie-Hellman Exponent assumption. Our protocol is also efficient, and readily adaptable to provide broadcast encryption.
