Signature Schemes and Anonymous Credentials from Bilinear Maps

Signature Schemes and Anonymous Credentials from Bilinear Maps

2004 | Jan Camenisch and Anna Lysyanskaya
The paper introduces a new and efficient signature scheme based on a discrete-logarithm-based assumption proposed by Lysyanskaya, Rivest, Sahai, and Wolf (LRSW). The security of the scheme is proven under the LRSW assumption for groups with bilinear maps. The authors demonstrate how this signature scheme can be used to construct efficient anonymous credential systems, group signature schemes, and identity escrow schemes. They provide protocols for proving knowledge of a signature on a committed message and obtaining a signature on a committed message, which are crucial for the construction of these cryptographic protocols. The paper also discusses the efficiency and security of their schemes compared to existing solutions, highlighting their advantages in terms of efficiency and security. Additionally, the paper reviews related work, including the work of Boneh, Boyen, and Shacham, and shows how their constructions can be extended to incorporate the BBS group signature scheme.The paper introduces a new and efficient signature scheme based on a discrete-logarithm-based assumption proposed by Lysyanskaya, Rivest, Sahai, and Wolf (LRSW).
