Anonymity and Denial of Undeniable and Confirmer Signatures

[摘要] We introduce a new security property for undeniable and confirmer signatures in the multi-user setting, namely, anonymity. We show that many existing systems do not have this property. We modify the original undeniable signature scheme of Chaum and van Antwerpen and the RSA-based undeniable / confirmer signature scheme of Gennaro, Krawczyk and Rabin so that they achieve anonymity. We also provide a new, more efficient, denial protocol for the undeniable signature scheme of Chaum and van Antwerpen. Notes: Steven D.
