Proxy signature can be combined other special signature to obtain some new types of proxy signature. Threshold proxy signature is a variant of the proxy signature. Most of existing threshold proxy signature schemes based on the certificate-based public key systems. But, in some cases, the receiver cannot find out who signed the proxy signatures. In this paper, we put forward to a novel identity-based threshold proxy signature scheme from bilinear pairings without a dealer. Using our scheme, the original signer can know who generated the proxy signature and the receiver can certify the actuality of the group signers. Moreover, the constructions of our scheme would be simpler but still with high security.
Threshold proxy signature is a variant of the proxy signature scheme in which only some subgroup of proxy signers can sign messages on behalf of the original signer. Many existing threshold proxy signature schemes reveal that the receiver cannot find out who signed the proxy signatures. In this article, we provided a novel (t,n) threshold proxy signature scheme from bilinear pairings without a trusted dealer. In our scheme, the original signer can know who generated the proxy signature, and the receiver can certify the actuality of the group signers who made the proxy signature. Most of our constructions would be simpler but still with high security due to the properties of bilinear map built from Weil pairing or Tate pairing.
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.
