Identity-based Signatures from Lattices: Simpler, Faster, Shorter

Abstract

Identity-based signature is an important technique for light-weight authentication. Recently, many efforts have been made to construct identity-based signatures over lattice assumptions since they would remain secure in future quantum age. In this paper we present a new identity-based signature scheme from lattice problems. This scheme is more efficient than other lattice-based identity-based signature schemes in terms of both computation and communication complexities. We prove its security in the random oracle model under short integer solution assumption that is as hard as approximating several worst-case lattice problems. We also extend the scheme to an identity-based message recovery signature scheme that has better performance.

Efficient hierarchical identity-based signatures from lattices

Miaomiao Tian, Liusheng Huang, Wei Yang

Lattice-based hierarchical identity-based signature (HIBS) schemes are receiving significant attention due to provable security reductions and potential security for quantum computers. However, most of the existing HIBS schemes based on lattices are less efficient for practical applications. To make lattice-based HIBS schemes become more practical, this paper presents an efficient HIBS scheme from lattices. Both the secret key size and the signature length of our proposal are much shorter than those of other lattice-based HIBS proposals. Our scheme is proven to be strongly unforgeable against adaptive identity attacks in the random oracle model. The security of the construction relies on the standard short integer solution (SIS) assumption.

Lattice-based identity-based ring signature without trapdoors

Lili Zhang, Zhongwen Li, Yongxuan Sang

So far, most ring signature schemes rely on hard number theory problems, such as discrete logarithm, bilinear pairings and so on. Unfortunately, the above underlying number theory problems will be solvable in the post quantum era. Lattice-based cryptography is a hotspot of research recently, due to its implementation simplicity and provable security reductions. When the hash-and-sign signature scheme was constructed based on the hardness of worst-case lattice problems, provably secure lattice-based ring signature schemes were finally constructed. However, the hash-and-sign ring signatures were rather inefficient (with megabytes long signatures). In this paper, we propose an alternative method for constructing lattice-based and identity-based ring signature scheme which does not use the hash-and-sign methodology. In the random oracle model, the proposed signature scheme based on the problem in general lattices is unforgeable and holds anonymity. Compared with the previous instantiations of the hash-and-sign ring signature schemes, the lengths of secret key, public key and signatures in the proposed scheme are much shorter. The signing algorithm is quite simple, with matrix-vector multiplications and rejection samplings.

Adaptive-ID Secure Identity-Based Signature Scheme from Lattices in the Standard Model

Zecheng Wang, Xuemin Chen, Pingshui Wang

Identity-based signature (IBS) which is a paradigm built on public key cryptography has played a significant role in light-weight authentication. With the advent of the post quantum era, the lattice has become a main mathematical tool to construct quantum-immune cryptographic schemes. By utilizing an admissible hash function with compatible algorithms and lattice trapdoors as basic building blocks, we propose a new IBS scheme over lattices. The scheme is proved existentially unforgeable against adaptive identity attacks and chosen message attacks in the standard model under inhomogeneous short integer solution assumption via the generalized partitioning proof technique. Moreover, the scheme needs only logarithmic basic matrices as master public key while keeping the same private key size and signature size as those of other standard model lattice-based IBS schemes. This construction is the first adaptive-ID secure standard model IBS scheme over lattice with such space efficiency.

Lattice-based group signature scheme without random oracle

Thakkalapally Preethi, B. B. Amberker

Group signature is a cryptographic primitive where any member can anonymously sign a message on behalf of the population they belong to. Several group signatures were proposed based on number-theoretic assumptions. All these schemes are insecure in the presence of quantum computers. Group signatures based on lattice assumptions are believed to be quantum-resistant. In the past few years, group signatures based on lattice assumptions have been proposed and most of them are proved to be secure in random-oracle model. This paper presents a lattice-based group signature scheme without using random-oracle. Our scheme is based on correlation-intractable function ensembles for all evasive relations which are constructed recently based on well-defined assumptions. Security of our scheme is proved based on correlation-intractable function ensembles and hardness of Short Integer Solution and Learning With Errors problem.

Identity-Based Proxy Signature with Message Recovery over NTRU Lattice

Faguo Wu, Bo Zhou, Xiao Zhang

Proxy signature is one of the important primitives of public-key cryptography and plays an essential role in delivering security services in modern communications. However, existing post quantum proxy signature schemes with larger signature sizes might not be fully practical for some resource-constrained devices (e.g., Internet of Things devices). A signature scheme with message recovery has the characteristic that part or all of the message is embedded in the signature, which can reduce the size of the signature. In this paper, we present a new identity-based proxy signature scheme over an NTRU lattice with message recovery (IB-PSSMR), which is more efficient than the other existing identity-based proxy signature schemes in terms of the size of the signature and the cost of energy. We prove that our scheme is secure under a Short Integer Solution (SIS) assumption that is as hard as approximating several worst-case lattice problems in the random oracle model. We also discussed some application scenarios of IB-PSSMR in blockchain and Internet of Things (IOT). This paper provides a new idea for the design of lattice signature schemes in low resource constrained environments.
