A digital signature is essential for verifying people's reliability and data integrity over networks and is used in web server certificates, authentication, and blockchain technologies. Specifically, to solve the bitcoin scalability problem, Multi-Signature (MS) schemes have recently attracted attention because the MS's aggregate algorithm can reduce the amount of signature data in transactions. While such schemes support only a single message signing, Interactive Aggregate Signatures (IAS) and Aggregate Multi-Signature Protocol (AMSP) support signing of multiple messages. However, there are some issues with these schemes, for example, key aggregation is unavailable. In this paper, we propose a key aggregatable IAS scheme called KAIAS that can sign multiple messages with key aggregation. In terms of cases using Multi-Signature, previous studies have mainly discussed the benefits of reducing the size of signatures. On the other hand, we also propose a practical application of KAIAS that leverages its benefits in aggregating both signatures and public keys with a low computing cost for verification.
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.
