On the Security of the Lee-Chang Group Signature Scheme and Its Derivatives

چکیده
W.-B. Lee and C.-C. Chang (1998) proposed a very efficient group signature scheme based on the discrete logarithm problem. This scheme was subsequently improved by Y.-M. Tseng and J.-K. Jan (1999) so that the resulting group signatures are unlinkable. In this paper, we show that any obvious attempt to make unlinkable the Lee-Chang signatures would likely fail. More importantly, we show that both the original Lee-Chang signature scheme and its improved version are universally forgeable.

Double voter perceptible blind signature based electronic voting protocol
Mu et al. have proposed an electronic voting protocol and claimed that it protects anonymity of voters, detects double voting and authenticates eligible voters. It has been shown that it does not protect voter's privacy and prevent double voting. After that, several schemes have been presented to fulfill these properties. However, many of them suffer from the same weaknesses. In this p...
متن کاملAn ECC-Based Mutual Authentication Scheme with One Time Signature (OTS) in Advanced Metering Infrastructure
Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is a key part of the smart grid; thus, one of the most important concerns is to offer a secure mutual authentication. This study focuses on communication between a smart meter and a server on the utility side. Hence, a mutual authentication mechanism in AMI is presented based on the elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) and one time signature (OTS) consists o...
متن کاملAn efficient blind signature scheme based on the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem
Elliptic Curve Cryptosystems (ECC) have recently received significant attention by researchers due to their high performance such as low computational cost and small key size. In this paper a novel untraceable blind signature scheme is presented. Since the security of proposed method is based on difficulty of solving discrete logarithm over an elliptic curve, performance of the proposed scheme ...
متن کاملA Secure Strong Designated Verifier Signature Scheme
Recently Lee-Chang proposed a new strong designated verifier signature scheme. They claimed that their proposed scheme is more secure and suitable for the purpose of a strong designated verifier signature scheme. This paper shows that Lee-Chang scheme cannot withstand forgery attack which an adversary can forge a signature without knowing the secret key of the signer or the designated verifier ...
متن کاملConvertible limited (multi-) verifier signature: new constructions and applications
A convertible limited (multi-) verifier signature (CL(M)VS) provides controlled verifiability and preserves the privacy of the signer. Furthermore, limited verifier(s) can designate the signature to a third party or convert it into a publicly verifiable signature upon necessity. In this proposal, we first present a generic construction of convertible limited verifier signature (CLVS) into which...
