Fully Distributed Proxy Signature Schemes

In a proxy signature scheme, a potential signer delegates his signing capability to a proxy entity, who signs a message on behalf of the original signer. All the proposals of proxy signature schemes made until now have been based on Schnorr's signature scheme. Threshold versions of these schemes have also been proposed, in which the power of the proxy signer is distributed among a group of play...

Revisiting Fully Distributed Proxy Signature Schemes

In a proxy signature scheme, a potential signer delegates his capabilities to a proxy signer, who can sign documents on behalf of him. The recipient of the signature verifies both identities: that of the delegator and that of the proxy signer. There are many proposals of proxy signature schemes, but security of them has not been considered in a formal way until the appearance of [2, 8]. If the ...

Security Pitfalls of a Provably Secure Identity-based Multi-Proxy Signature Scheme

An identity-based multi-proxy signature is a type of proxy signatures in which the delegation of signing right is distributed among a number of proxy signers. In this type of cryptographic primitive, cooperation of all proxy signers in the proxy group generates the proxy signatures of roughly the same size as that of standard proxy signatures on behalf of the original signer, which is more effi...
