In 2005, Zhang and Wang proposed an improved signature scheme without using one-way hash functions. Even they used bitwise exclusive-or to against multiplicative attack, and the exclusive-or is easy to implement, and more fast. But they may have misused order of operation in mathematical precedence. In this comment, we would like to point out an error in the related work and scheme as follows.Index Terms-Digital signature; One-way hash function; Mathematical precedence 2010 International Conference on Cyber-Enabled Distributed Computing and Knowledge Discovery 978-0-7695-4235-5/10 $26.00
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
