A method is proposed for constructing from interactive protocols digital signature schemes secure against adaptively chosen message attacks. Our main result is that practical secure signature schemes can now also be based on computationally difficult problems other than factoring, such as the discrete logarithm problem.

Quantum Digital Signature

Introduction: Development of practical post-quantum signature schemes is a current challenge in the applied cryptography. Recently, several different forms of the hidden discrete logarithm problem were proposed as primitive signature schemes resistant to quantum attacks. Purpose: Development of a new form of the hidden discrete logarithm problem set in finite commutative groups possessing multi-dimensional cyclicity, and a method for designing post-quantum signature schemes. Results: A new form of the hidden discrete logarithm problem is introduced as the base primitive of practical post-quantum digital signature algorithms. Two new four-dimensional finite commutative associative algebras have been proposed as algebraic support for the introduced computationally complex problem. A method for designing signature schemes on the base of the latter problem is developed. The method consists in using a doubled public key and two similar equations for the verification of the same signature. To generate a pair of public keys, two secret minimum generator systems <G, Q> and <H, V> of two different finite groups G<G, Q> and G<H, V> possessing two-dimensional cyclicity are selected at random. The first public key (Y, Z, U) is computed as follows: Y = Gy1Qy2a, Z = Gz1Qz2b, U = Gu1Qu2g, where the set of integers (y1, y2, a, z1, z2, b, u1, u2, g) is a private key. The second public key (Y¢, Z¢, U¢) is computed as follows: Y¢ = Hy1Vy2a, Z¢ = Hz1Vz2b, U¢ = Hu1Vu2g. Using the same parameters to calculate the corresponding elements belonging to different public keys makes it possible to calculate a single signature which satisfies two similar verification equations specified in different finite commutative associative algebras. Practical relevance: Due to a smaller size of the public key, private key and signature, as well as approximately equal performance as compared to the known analogues, the proposed digital signature scheme can be used in the development of post-quantum signature algorithms.

Computational Difficulty

The current standards of the digital signature algorithms are based on computational difficulty of the discrete logarithm and factorization problems. Expected appearance in near future of the quantum computer that is able to solve in polynomial time each of the said computational puts forward the actual task of the development of the post-quantum signature algorithms that resist the attacks using the quantum computers. Recently, the signature schemes based on the hidden discrete logarithm problem set in finite non-commutative associative algebras had been proposed. The paper is devoted to a further development of this approach and introduces a new practical post-quantum signature scheme possessing small size of public key and signature. The main contribution of the paper is the developed new method for defining the hidden discrete logarithm problem that allows applying the finite commutative groups as algebraic support of the post-quantum digital signature schemes. The method uses idea of applying multipliers that mask the periodicity connected with the value of discrete logarithm of periodic functions set on the base of the public parameters of the signature scheme. The finite 4-dimensional commutative associative algebra the multiplicative group of which possesses 4-dimensional cyclicity is used as algebraic support of the developed signature scheme.

Introduction: Development of post-quantum digital signature standards represents a current challenge in the area of cryptography. Recently, the signature schemes based on the hidden discrete logarithm problem had been proposed. Further development of this approach represents significant practical interest, since it provides possibility of designing practical signature schemes possessing small size of public key and signature. Purpose: Development of the method for designing post-quantum signature schemes and new forms of the hidden discrete logarithm problem, corresponding to the method. Results: A method for designing post-quantum signature schemes is proposed. The method consists in setting the dependence of the publickey elements on masking multipliers that eliminates the periodicity connected with the value of discrete logarithm of periodic functions constructed on the base of the public parameters of the cryptoscheme. Two novel forms for defining the hidden discrete logarithm problem in finite associative algebras are proposed. The first (second) form has allowed to use the finite commutative (non-commutative) algebra as algebraic support of the developed signature schemes. Practical relevance: Due to significantly smaller size of public key and signature and approximately equal performance in comparison with the known analogues, the developed signature algorithms represent interest as candidates for practical post-quantum cryptoschemes.

Provably Secure

Any one who knows the signer’s public key can verify the validity of a given signature in partially blind signature schemes. This verifying universality may be used by cheats if the signed message is sensitive or personal. To solve this problem, a new convertible user designating confirmer partially blind signature, in which only the designated confirmer (designated by the user) and the user can verify and confirm the validity of given signatures and convert given signatures into publicly verifiable ones, is proposed. Compared with Huang et al.’s scheme, the signature size is shortened about 25% and the computation quantity is reduced about 36% in the proposed scheme. Under random oracle model and intractability of Discrete Logarithm Problem the proposed scheme is provably secure.
