Security Analysis of a Proxy Signature Scheme over Braid Groups
نویسنده
چکیده
Delegation of powers is a common practice in the real world. To realized the delegation of powers electronically,Mambo,Usuda and Okamoto proposed the first proxy signature scheme in 1996. Since then a number of new schemes and their improvements have been proposed. In 2008, Verma proposed a proxy signature scheme over braid groups. This paper analyzes Verma’s scheme and found that this scheme suffers with the serious security flaws. In this scheme,the proxy signer is able to misuse his delegated signing capabilities and the original signer can not restrict the proxy signer for misuse her delegation power. As a result, the proposed scheme does not satisfy some essential security requirements. Verma’s proposed scheme is also not secure against the original signer and proxy singer changing attacks. Thus, the proposed scheme is not only insecure against the attacks by original signer and proxy signer but also has pitfalls against the forgery attacks mounted by any antagonist.

Security Analysis and Design of Proxy Signature Schemes over Braid Groups
The braid groups have attracted much attention as a new platform of constructing cryptosystems. This paper firstly analyzes the security vulnerabilities of existing proxy signature schemes over braid groups and presents feasible attacks. Then a new proxy signature scheme is proposed based on the difficulty of the conjugacy search problem and the multiple conjugacy search problem. Security analy...

A proxy blind signature scheme is the combination of proxy signature and blind signature scheme. In 2009,Verma proposed a proxy blind signature scheme over braid groups. Verma claimed that the proposed scheme is secure against all possible security lapses and also satisfy all essential security attributes.This paper analyzes Verma’s proposed scheme and found that this scheme suffers with the se...
متن کاملSome Proxy Signature and Designated verifier Signature Schemes over Braid Groups
Braids groups provide an alternative to number theoretic public cryptography and can be implemented quite efficiently. The paper proposes five signature schemes: Proxy Signature, Designated Verifier, Bi-Designated Verifier, Designated Verifier Proxy Signature And Bi-Designated Verifier Proxy Signature scheme based on braid groups. We also discuss the security aspects of each of the proposed sch...
متن کاملA Proxy Signature Scheme over Braid Groups
Proxy signatures, introduced by Mambo, Usuda and Okamoto, allow a designated person to sign on behalf of an original signer. Braid groups has been playing an important role in the theory of cryptography as these are non commutative groups used in cryptography. Some digital signature schemes have been given but no proxy signature has been introduced over braid groups. In this paper we have propo...
متن کاملProbable Security Proof of A Blind Signature Scheme over Braid Groups
In this paper, we reinvestigate the security analysis of blind signature scheme over braid groups proposed by Verma in 2008. A blind signature scheme is a cryptographic primitive used for e-commerce for getting a signature from the signer without revealing any information about its contents. These schemes are especially used in e-transactions, e-votings, DRM systems, etc. The security of blind ...
