Abstract

In this paper, a new construction of hierarchical ID-Based signature (HIBS) scheme is proposed. The new scheme has some advantages over the available schemes: the private keys size shrinks as the identity depth increases and the signature size is a constant as it consists of three group elements. Furthermore, under the h-CDH assumption, our scheme is provably secure in the standard model. This assumption is more natural than many of the hardness assumptions recently introduced to HIBS in the standard model.
