“…With the introduction of ring signatures by Riverst et al [2], numerous related works (along with the related notion of ring/ad-hoc identification schemes) have been proposed [49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59]. We discuss some of them in this section.…”

A Survey on Group Signatures and Ring Signatures: Traceability vs. Anonymity

This survey reviews the two most prominent group-oriented anonymous signature schemes and analyzes the existing approaches for their problem: balancing anonymity against traceability. Group signatures and ring signatures are the two leading competitive signature schemes with a rich body of research. Both group and ring signatures enable user anonymity with group settings. Any group user can produce a signature while hiding his identity in a group. Although group signatures have predefined group settings, ring signatures allow users to form ad-hoc groups. Preserving user identities provided an advantage for group and ring signatures. Thus, presently many applications utilize them. However, standard group signatures enable an authority to freely revoke signers’ anonymity. Thus, the authority might weaken the anonymity of innocent users. On the other hand, traditional ring signatures maintain permanent user anonymity, allowing space for malicious user activities; thus achieving the requirements of privacy-preserved traceability in group signatures and controlled anonymity in ring signatures has become desirable. This paper reviews group and ring signatures and explores the existing approaches that address the identification of malicious user activities. We selected many papers that discuss balancing user tracing and anonymity in group and ring signatures. Since this paper scrutinizes both signatures from their basic idea to obstacles including tracing users, it provides readers a broad synthesis of information about two signature schemes with the knowledge of current approaches to balance excessive traceability in group signatures and extreme anonymity in ring signatures. This paper will also shape the future research directions of two critical signature schemes that require more awareness.

Rapid advancement in industrial applications of Internet of Things (IoT) has dramatically increased the number of Internet connected devices resulting in big challenges of scalability, adaptability, connectivity, and accessibility. Cognitive radio is efficient in handling spectrum allocation problem by facilitating the allocation of unlicensed spectrum dynamically to the IoT applications. However, cognitive radio network (CRN) capability of spectrum sensing is highly vulnerable to diversified number of security attacks. Malicious user disturbs the spectrum sensing potential and minimizes its accuracy by launching attacks during the detection of primary signal. In this article, certificateless linkable ring signature-based blockchains (CLRSB) is proposed for securing CRNs by achieving reliable discrimination between trustworthy users through cryptographic keys. It initially transformed the complete set of users such as PUs and SUs into the structure of blocks representing the smart contracts-based traditional public ledger blockchain that gets integrated to form a decentralized network for attaining improvement in efficient spectrum sensing. It adopted a mayfly optimization algorithm (MFOA)-improved CNN (MFOA-ICNN)-based spectrum sensing method for preventing the interference between PUs and SUs during spectrum access. It also used MFOA for optimizing the features with balanced trade-off between exploration and exploitation to identify the remarkable features that attributes toward efficient spectrum sensing. It specifically used CLRS for protecting information about the transaction initiator for the objective of protecting blockchain privacy. Simulation experiments of this CLRSB confirmed better response time and minimized frame loss on an average by 18.13% and 17.81%, better than the baseline schemes used for investigation.

“…A quadratic acceleration for the searching problem can be provided by Grover's algorithm 6 . Most of the existing ring signature schemes can be divided into three types: certificate‐based, identity‐based, 2,7 and certificateless 8,9 . Lattice ciphers are considered to be the most prospective cryptographic primitives in the post‐quantum era and have attracted widespread attention.…”

For the problems that ring signature needs key escrow, has some security risks, and cannot avoid malicious key generation center (KGC) in the post-quantum era, we design a certificateless ring signature scheme based on lattice (L-CRSS). In our scheme, the bimodal Gaussian distribution is used to improve the security and efficiency. Compared with the previous ring signature scheme based on lattice, our design does not need key escrow, does not disclose the signer's identity, can avoid malicious KGC, achieves the constant signature size, and has higher security and efficiency in the post-quantum era.Finally, under random oracle model (ROM), we prove that our scheme is anonymous against the full-key exposure, and existentially unforgeable against adaptive chosen message attacks (EUF-CMA).
