Abstract In recent years, quite some progress has been made in understand- ing the security of encryption schemes in the presence of key-dependent plaintexts. Here, we motivate and explore the security of a setting, where an adversary against a signature scheme can access signatures on key-dependent messages. We propose a way to formalize the security of signature schemes in the pres- ence of key-dependent signatures (KDS). It turns out that the situation is quite different from key-dependent encryption: already to achieve KDS-security under non-adaptive chosen message attacks, the use of a stateful signing algorithm is inevitable-even in the random oracle model. After discussing the connection be- tween key-dependent signing and forward security, we present a compiler to lift any EUF-CMA secure one-time signature scheme to a forward secure signature scheme offering KDS-CMA security.

It is well known that conventional digital signature algorithms such as RSA and ECDSA are vulnerable to quantum computing attacks. Hash-based signature schemes are attractive as post-quantum signature schemes in that it is possible to calculate the quantitative security level and the security is proven. SPHINCS is a stateless hash-based signature scheme and introduces HORST few-time signature scheme which is an improvement of HORS. However, HORST as well as HORS suffers from pretty large signature sizes. HORSIC is proposed to reduce the signature size, yet does not provide in-depth security analysis. In this paper, we propose HORSIC+, which is an improvement of HORSIC. HORSIC+ differs from HORSIC in that HORSIC+ does not apply f as a plain function to the signature key, but uses a member of a function family. In addition, HORSIC+ uses the chaining function similar to W-OTS+. These enable the strict security proof without the need for the used function family to be a permutation or collision resistant. HORSIC+ is existentially unforgeable under chosen message attacks, assuming a second-preimage resistant family of undetectable one-way functions and cryptographic hash functions in the random oracle model. HORSIC+ reduces the signature size by as much as 37.5% or 18.75% compared to HORS and by as much as 61.5% or 45.8% compared to HORST for the same security level.

Based an identity-based signature scheme, we givea certificateless signature scheme. And then we propose a certificateless blind signature (CLBS) scheme in this paper. This schemeis more efficient than those of previous schemes by pre-computing the pairing e (P, P)=g. Based on CL-PKC, it eliminates theusing of certificates in the signature scheme with respect to thetraditional public key cryptography (PKC) and solves key escrowproblems in ID-based signature schemes. Meanwhile it retains themerits of BS schemes. The proposed CLBS scheme is existentialunforgeable in the random oracle model under the intractabilityof the q-Strong Diffie-Hellman problem.

Digital signatures are crucial network security technologies. However, in traditional public key signature schemes, the certificate management is complicated and the schemes are vulnerable to public key replacement attacks. In order to solve the problems, in this paper, we propose a self-certified signature scheme over lattice. Using the self-certified public key, our scheme allows a user to certify the public key without an extra certificate. It can reduce the communication overhead and computational cost of the signature scheme. Moreover, the lattice helps prevent quantum computing attacks. Then, based on the small integer solution problem, our scheme is provable secure in the random oracle model. Furthermore, compared with the previous self-certified signature schemes, our scheme is more secure.

Based on the newly introduced d-decisional Diffie-Hellman (d-DDH) intractable problem, a signature scheme and a multi-signature scheme are proposed. The main method in the constructions is a transformation of a knowledge proof on the equality of two discrete logarithms. The two schemes are proved secure in the random oracle model and the security reductions to the d-DDH problem are tight. Moreover, one can select different d for different security demand of applications. Thus the schemes are secure, efficient and practical.

Most of the existing ID-based designated verifier proxy signature schemes are implemented with pairings. The computation of parings is still much more expensive than the common modular multiplications and exponentiations. To obtain better efficiency, we construct an efficient ID-based DVPS scheme without pairings. The scheme is designed based on the hardness of the discrete logarithm problems. It is proven secure against adaptively chosen message attacks, in the random oracle model.

In an ID-Based cryptosystem, identity of users are used to generate their public and private keys. In this system private key is generated by trusted private key generator (PKG). Unlike traditional PKI, this system enables the user to use public keys without exchanging public key certificates. With the exploitation of bilinear pairing, several secure and efficient ID-Based signature schemes have been proposed till now. In this paper, we have proposed an ID-Based signature scheme from bilinear pairing based on Ex-K-Plus problem. The proposed scheme is existentially unforgeable in the random oracle model under the hardness of K-CAA problem. Our scheme is also unforgeable due to hardness of ex-k-plus problem and computationally more efficient than other existing schemes.

Florian Böhl et al. introduced tag-based signature schemes in 2013. We focus on their SIS-based tag-based signature scheme in lattice-based cryptography. Without aggregation techniques in lattice-based signatures, their tag-based signature has long signature length. We use the technique of lattice basis delegation with fixed dimension to shorten the signature length. Compared with the original scheme, our scheme’s signature is one-half length, at the price of security proof in the random oracle model.

A new variant of the ElGamal signature scheme called "a Generalized ElGamal signature scheme" is proposed in 2011. The Generalized ElGamal signature scheme is a modified ElGamal signature scheme. In this paper, we propose the security proof of the Generalized ElGamal signature scheme in the random oracle model. First, we recall some security notions of signature schemes and show the security of the modified ElGamal Signature scheme.

In a designated verifier proxy signature scheme, there are three participants, namely, the original signer, the proxy signer, and the designated verifier. The original signer delegates his or her signing right to the proxy signer, then the proxy signer can generate valid signature on behalf of the original signer. But only the designated verifier can verify the proxy signature. Several designated verifier proxy signature schemes have been proposed. However, most of them were proven secure in the random oracle model, which has received a lot of criticism since the security proofs in the random oracle model are not sound with respect to the standard model. Recently, by employing Water's hashing technique, Yu et al. proposed a new construction of designated verifier proxy signature. They claimed that the new construction is the first designated verifier proxy signature, whose security does not rely on the random oracles. But, in this paper, we will show some attacks on Yu et al.'s scheme. So, their scheme is not secure.

With the rapid development of quantum computing and quantum information technology, the universal quantum computer will emerge in the near decades with a very high probability and it could break most of the current public key cryptosystems totally. Due to the ability of withstanding the universal quantum computer’s attack, the lattice-based cryptosystems have received lots of attention from both industry and academia. In this paper, we propose an identity-based blind signature scheme using lattice. We also prove that the proposed scheme is provably secure in the random oracle model. The performance analysis shows that the proposed scheme has less mean value of sampling times and smaller signature size than previous schemes. Thus, the proposed scheme is more suitable for practical applications.
