Abstract. We present an anonymous certification scheme that provides data minimization to allow the learners of an e-assessment platform to reveal only required information to certificate authority providers. Attribute-based signature schemes are considered as a promising cryptographic primitive for building privacy-preserving attribute credentials, also known as anonymous credentials. These mechanisms allow the derivation of certified attributes by the issuing authority relying on noninteractive protocols and enable end-users to authenticate with verifiers in a pseudonymous manner, e.g., by providing only the minimum amount of information to service providers.
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.
