Cryptanalysis of Some Proxy Signature Schemes Without Certificates

چکیده
The concept of proxy signature was introduced by Mambo et al. to delegate signing capability in the digital world. In this paper, we show that three existing proxy signature schemes without certificates, namely, the Qian and Cao identity-based proxy signature (IBPS) scheme, the Guo et al. IBPS scheme and the Li et al. certificateless proxy signature (CLPS) scheme are insecure against universal forgery. More precisely, we show that any user who has a valid public-private key pair can act as a cheating proxy signer and forge the proxy signature on behalf of the original signer at will, without obtaining the official delegation from the original signer.

Cryptanalysis of Some Group-Oriented Proxy Signature Schemes
A proxy signature scheme allows an entity to delegate its signing power to another entity. Since the notion of proxy signatures was first introduced, many proxy signature schemes and various extensions have been considered. As an example, the notion of threshold proxy signature or proxy multi-signature was introduced as a group-oriented variant. In this paper, we show that some threshold proxy ...

rant as a part information of verification. Furthermore, in terms of proxy delegation steps, some proxy signature schemes are non-interactive [46] and some schemes [7] are interactive.

متن کاملFurther Cryptanalysis of some Proxy Signature Schemes
Proxy signature is a signature that an original signer delegates his or her signing capability to a proxy signer, and then the proxy signer creates a signature on behalf of the original signer. However, Sun et al. [7] showed that the proxy and multi-proxy signatures of Lee et al. [3], and the strong proxy signature scheme with proxy signer privacy protection of Shum et al. [6] are not against t...
متن کاملAn Identity-Based Multi-Proxy Multi-Signature Scheme Without Bilinear Pairings and its Variants
The notions of identity-based multi-proxy signature, proxy multi-signature and multi-proxy multisignature have been proposed to facilitate public key certificate management of these kinds of signatures by merely employing signer’s identities in place of the public keys and their certificates. In the literature, most identitybased multi-proxy signature, proxy multi-signature and multi-proxy mult...
متن کاملCryptanalysis of and improvement on the Hwang-Chen multi-proxy multi-signature schemes
Hwang and Chen recently proposed new multi-proxy multi-signature schemes that allow a group of authorized proxy signers to sign messages on behalf of a group of original signers. This paper shows that their schemes are insecure because a malicious proxy signer can forge a signature for a message secretly while participating in the message signing process with the other proxy signers. This paper...
