A New Approach to Threshold Attribute Based Signatures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Inspired by developments in attribute based encryption and signatures, there has recently been a spurt of progress in the direction of threshold attribute based signatures (t-ABS). In this work we propose a novel approach to construct threshold attribute based signatures inspired by ring signatures. Threshold attribute based signatures, defined by a (t, n∗) threshold predicate, ensure that the signer holds atleast t out of a specified set of n∗ attributes to pass the verification. Another way to look at this would be that, the signer has atleast 1 out of the ( n∗ t ) combination of attribute sets. Thus, a new approach to t-ABS would be to let the signer pick some n′ sets of t attributes each, from the ( n∗ t ) possible sets, and prove that (s)he has atleast one of the n′ sets in his/her possession. In this work, we provide a flexible threshold-ABS scheme that realizes this approach. We also prove our scheme to be secure with the help of random oracles.

Multiple attribute decision making with triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers based on zero-sum game approach
For many decision problems with uncertainty, triangular intuitionistic fuzzy number is a useful tool in expressing ill-known quantities. This paper develops a novel decision method based on zero-sum game for multiple attribute decision making problems where the attribute values take the form of triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers and the attribute weights are unknown. First, a new value ind...

Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the leading causes of cancer mortality, worldwide. Molecular understanding of GC’s different subtypes is still dismal and it is necessary to develop new subtype-specific diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Therefore developing comprehensive research in this area is demanding to have a deeper insight into molecular processes, underlying these subtypes. In this st...
متن کاملPost-Quantum Attribute-Based Signatures from Lattice Assumptions
Attribute based signature schemes (ABS) constitute important and powerful primitives when it comes to protecting the privacy of the user’s identity and signing information. More specifically, ABS schemes provide the advantage of anonymously signing a message once a given policy is satisfied. As opposed to other related privacy preserving signatures, the verifier is not able to deduce from the s...
متن کاملThreshold Attribute-Based Signatures and Their Application to Anonymous Credential Systems
Abstarct. Inspired by the recent developments in attribute-based encryption, in this paper we propose threshold attribute-based signatures (t-ABS). In a t-ABS, signers are associated with a set of attributes and verification of a signed document against a verification attribute set succeeds if the signer has a threshold number of (at least t) attributes in common with the verification attribute...
