Convertible Undeniable Signatures

چکیده
We introduce a new concept called convertible undeniable signature schemes. In these schemes, release of a single bit string by the signer turns all of his signatures, which were originally undeniable signatures, into ordinary digital signatures. We prove that the existence of such schemes is implied by the existence of digital signature schemes. Then, looking at the problem more practically, we present a very efficient convertible undeniable signature scheme. This scheme has the added benefit that signatures can also be selectively converted.

A convertible undeniable signature is issued as an undeniable signature which can provide good privacy service in its early lifecycle. Later when necessary, it can be converted into an ordinary signature by a designated party and thereafter assures good accountability just as an ordinary digital signature does.

متن کاملToward a Generic Construction of Convertible Undeniable Signatures from Pairing-Based Signatures
Undeniable signatures were proposed to limit the verification property of ordinary digital signatures. In fact, the verification of such signatures cannot be attained without the help of the signer, via the confirmation/denial protocols. Later, the concept was refined to give the possibility of converting a selected signature into an ordinary one, or publishing a universal receipt that turns al...

Group undeniable signatures are like ordinary group signatures except that verifying signatures needs the help of the group manager. In this paper, we propose a convertible group undeniable signature scheme in which the group manager can turn all or selective signatures, which are originally group undeniable signatures, into ordinary group signatures without compromising security of the secret ...
