Optimal Data Authentication from Directed Transitive Signatures
نویسنده
چکیده
An authenticated dictionary of size N is said to be optimal when an update operation or proof computation requires at most O(logN) accesses to the data-structure, and the size of a proof is O(1) with respect to N . In this note we show that an optimal authenticated dictionary (OAD) can be built using transitive signatures for directed graphs (DTS). As the existence of DTS and OAD are both still open, our result can be interpreted as following: if optimal authenticated dictionaries do not exist then transitive signatures for directed graphs do not exist either.

A simple transitive signature scheme for directed trees
Transitive signatures allow a signer to authenticate edges in a graph in such a way that anyone, given the public key and two signatures on adjacent edges (i, j) and (j, k), can compute a third signature on edge (i, k). A number of schemes have been proposed for undirected graphs, but the case of directed graphs remains an open problem. At CT-RSA 2007, Yi presented a scheme for directed trees b...
متن کاملDirected Transitive Signature on Directed Tree1
In early 2000’s, Rivest [1,2] and Micali [2] introduced the notion of transitive signature, which allows a third party with public key to generate a valid signature for a composed edge (vi,vk), from the signatures for two edges (vi,v j) and (v j,vk). Since then, a number of works, including [2,3,4,5,6], have been devoted on transitive signatures. Most of them address the undirected transitive s...

In early 2000’s, Rivest [Riv00,MR02] and Micali [MR02] introduced the notion of transitive signature, which allows a third party to generate a valid signature for a composed edge (vi, vk), from the signatures for two edges (vi, vj) and (vj , vk), and using the public key only. Since then, a number of works, including [MR02,BN02,Hoh03,SFSM05,BN05], have been devoted on transitive signatures. Mos...
متن کاملUniversal designated verifier transitive signatures for graph-based big data
In this paper, we propose a new type of digital signatures which is specifically designed for graph-based big data system. The properties of the proposed signatures are twofold. On one side it possesses the features of transitive signatures: One can sign a graph in such a way that, given two signatures on adjacent edges ði; jÞ and ðj; kÞ, anyone with public information can compute a signature o...
متن کاملA Transitive Signature Scheme for Directed Trees
Digital signatures are a way of cryptographically signing data to verify its integrity and authenticity [2]. In most digital signature schemes, the author (let’s call her Alice) signs a messages using a secret key and then publishes the signature and message. A reader can then verify Alice as the author of the complete message without being able to forge a signature of Alice’s on any new messag...
