Abstract

A proxy signature enables an original signer to delegate its signing capability to a proxy signer and the proxy signer can sign a message on behalf of the original signer. Later, anyone can verify the validity of proxy signatures. The ''public-verifiable'' property of the proxy signature is not suitable in some applications in which a proxy signed message may be personally or commercially sensitive. A designated verifier proxy signature scheme is suitable for these environments. In this paper, we propose a provably secure short designated verifier proxy signature scheme in the random oracle model under the Bilinear Diffie-Hellman assumption.
