An efficient and secure undeniable signature scheme based on ring learning with error

Abstract

This paper, proposes a novel undeniable signature scheme based on the ring learning with errors (RLWE) problem, a complex lattice problem. In our scheme, authentic signatures can be validated via an interactive protocol, which guarantees that adversaries cannot forge signatures. Moreover, it ensures that honest participants consistently finish the verification procedure. Thus, the scheme is a strong and effective quantum-resistant undeniable signature scheme. Our security analysis, demonstrates resilience against both classical and quantum adversaries, based on the RLWE problem's hardness assumptions. Additionally, the random Oracle model is utilised to evaluate our protocol's security, showing that our scheme satisfies important cryptographic properties like completeness, soundness, and unforgeability. Our work advances the feasibility of post-quantum undeniable signature schemes for real-world cryptographic applications.

A Quantum Secure and Efficient RLWE-Based Authenticated Key Exchange Protocol for Mobile Devices

Gaurav Mittal, Saibal Kumar Pal, Dharminder Dharminder

The Ring Learning with Errors (RLWE) problem has emerged as a foundational hardness assumption for post-quantum authenticated key exchange (AKE) protocols. In this paper, we propose a post-quantum and efficient RLWE-Based AKE protocol for mobile devices. We provide formal security reduction in the random oracle model under the decisional RLWE and PRF assumptions. We also show that our scheme is safe against key mismatch attack, signal leakage attack, and provide informal analysis of all standard AKE security properties. Further, we showcase that our scheme also provides perfect forward secrecy and replay attack resistance. Finally, we compare our scheme with several other existing schemes in terms of various security attributes along with computational efficiency to demonstrate its practicality and advantages over the other schemes.

Using Ring Learning with Errors Problem to Construct Linkable Ring Signature Scheme

YE Qing, WANG Wenbo, LI Yingying, QIN Panke, ZHAO Zongqu, WANG Yongjun

In order to solve the problem of large key size and low efficiency in the linkable ring signature scheme on lattice, this paper reconstructs the linkable ring signature scheme from lattice based on the ring learning with errors (RLWE) problem, according to the technical route of “homomorphic commitment→∑-protocol→Fiat-Shamir transformation”. This paper first constructs a homomorphic commitment scheme over a polynomial ring based on the RLWE problem, and then designs a ∑-protocol based on the commitment scheme, and transforms the ∑-protocol into a linkable ring signature scheme using the Fiat-Shamir transformation methods. Finally, this paper proposes a simple digital currency model based on the linkable ring signature scheme. Security analysis shows since the proposed scheme is constructed based on the problem of RLWE, its security can reduce to the lattice-based difficult problem and resist the quantum computer attack. Efficiency analysis shows compared with the previous linkable ring signature schemes on lattice, since the ring elements in the scheme are taken from small polynomials, the proposed scheme has shorter key size and higher computational efficiency, and the description of the scheme is simpler.

A Quantum-Resistant Authenticated Key Exchange Protocol Based on RLWE and Error Reconciliation Mechanism

Wentao Li, Yu Zhou, Jie Chen +3 more

The rapid development of quantum computers poses a significant threat to the majority of current authenticated key exchang protocols, designed on the hardness of large integer factorization and discrete logarithm problems. Therefore, it is imperative to develop secure and efficient quantum-resistant authenticated key exchang protocols. This paper designs a new public-key cryptographic scheme for identity authentication based on Ring Learning With Errors (RLWE) problem and error reconciliation mechanism. Based on the scheme, we further design a quantum-resistant authenticated key exchange protocol (AKE). This protocol is provably secure under the standard eCK model and achieves forward secrecy. Compared with other classic key exchange protocols based on the RLWE problem, our protocol shows comprehensive advantages in terms of security, computational complexity, and communication complexity.

LATTICE-BASED STRONG DESIGNATE VERIFIER SIGNATURE AND ITS APPLICATIONS

Fenghe Wang, Yupu Hu, Baocang Wang

Motivated by the need to have secure strong designate verifier signatures (SDVS) even in the presence of quantum computers, a post-quantum lattice-based SDVS scheme is proposed based on the hardness of the short integer solution problem (SIS) and the learning with errors problem (LWE). The proposed SDVS scheme utilizes the Bonsai trees and pre-image sample-able function primitives to generate the designate verifier signature (DVS). In this construction, the un- forge-ability is based on the hardness of the SIS problem which is proven in the random oracle model and the non-transferability is based on the hardness of the LWE problem. As an application of the proposed SDVS scheme, we design a strong designate verifier ring signature scheme (SDVRS) which satisfies non-transferability. It is proven that the identity of the signer is unconditionally protected not only for any third-party but also for the designate verifier. Under the hardness of the SIS problem, the proposed SDVRS scheme is proven to be existentially un-forgeable in the random oracle model.
