Self-Blindable Credential Certificates from the Weil Pairing
نویسنده
چکیده
We describe two simple, efficient and effective credential pseudonymous certificate systems, which also support anonymity without the need for a trusted third party. The second system provides cryptographic protection against the forgery and transfer of credentials. Both systems are based on a new paradigm, called self-blindable certificates. Such certificates can be constructed using the Weil pairing in supersingular ellip-

Developing Efficient Blinded Attribute Certificates on Smart Cards via Pairings
This paper describes an elementary protocol to prove possession of anonymous credentials together with its implementation on smart cards. The protocol uses self-blindable attribute certificates represented as points on an elliptic curve (which are stored on the card). These certificates are verified on the reader-side via a bilinear pairing. Java Card smart cards offer only very limited access ...
متن کاملOn Linkability and Malleability in Self-blindable Credentials
Self-blindable credential schemes allow users to anonymously prove ownership of credentials. This is achieved by randomizing the credential before each showing in such a way that it still remains valid. As a result, each time a different version of the same credential is presented. A number of such schemes have been proposed, but unfortunately many of them are broken, in the sense that they are...
متن کاملSelf-blindable Credential: Towards Anonymous Entity Authentication Upon Resource Constrained Devices
We are witnessing the rapid expansion of smart devices in our daily life. The need for individual privacy protection calls for anonymous entity authentication techniques with affordable efficiency upon the resource-constrained smart devices. Towards this objective, in this paper we propose self-blindable credential, a lightweight anonymous entity authentication primitive. We provide a formulati...
متن کاملA Short Paper on How to Improve U-Prove Using Self-Blindable Certificates
U-Prove is a credential system that allows users to disclose information about themselves in a minimalistic way. Roughly speaking, in the U-Prove system a user obtains certified cryptographic tokens containing a set of attributes and is able to disclose a subset of his attributes to a verifier, while hiding the undisclosed attributes. In U-prove the actual identity of a token holder is hidden f...
