Blind signature is a well-known cryptographical technique used to construct some advanced applications for the consideration of user privacy. In this work, we propose the first efficient certificate-based blind signature scheme that follows the idea of Certificate Based Encryption (CBE) presented by Gentry in EuroCrypt 2003. The security of our scheme is based on the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem over a finite field. In addition, our scheme does not require any pairing operations which is regarded as cosely operations compared to other operations. Compared with the other secure blind signature scheme, our scheme enjoys shorter signature length, less running time and operation cost. So it can be used widely, especially in low-bandwidth communication environments such as wireless cooperative networks.
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.
