Abstract

In this paper, we propose a fast signature scheme which is derived from three-pass identification scheme. Our signature scheme would require a modular exponentiation as preprocessing. However, no multiplication is used in the actual (i.e. on-line) signature generation. This means that the phase involves only a hashing operation, addition and a modular reduction. So far, some fast signature schemes called on the fly signatures were proposed. In those schemes the modular reduction is eliminated in the on-line phase. Therefore, our approach to obtain the fast on-line signature is different from theirs. This paper is the first approach for the fast signature scheme without on-line modular multiplication.
