Group signature can provide the privacy-preserving authentication mechanism for the blockchain. In the traditional blockchain privacy-preserving scheme based on the group signature, there is only one group manager to revoke the anonymity. Thus, the traditional scheme will have single point of failure and key escrow problems. To solve these problems, we propose a privacy-preserving scheme in the blockchain based on the group signature with multiple managers. Our scheme is constructed based on bilinear pairing and the technique of distributed key generation. Finally, we analyze the application of the proposed scheme in the field of blockchain-based provable data possession (PDP), as well as the correctness and security of the scheme.
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.
