A Forward-Secure Digital Signature Scheme

Abstract: Abstract. We describe a digital signature scheme in which the public key is fixed but the secret signing key is updated at regular intervals so as to provide a forward security property: compromise of the current secret key does not enable an adversary to forge signatures pertaining to the past. This can be useful to mitigate the damage caused by key exposure without requiring distribution of keys. Our construction uses ideas from the Fiat-Shamir and Ong-Schnorr identification and signature schemes, and is pro… Show more

“…The signature and key sizes do not depend on the total number of time periods. Moreover, comparing with the schemes [1,5,16], the signature size is shorter for the same security level since our scheme is operating over an elliptic curve (so in the security parameter k is different). The signing algorithm will be similar to that of [8] if we store the fixed part in the signature for later use.…”
