Abstract

Fast signature verification is desirable in many applications, especially when signature recipients need to make response quickly. In this paper, we present an efficient online/offline verification of short signature (OVS) scheme without random oracles. Besides message signing, signature verification can be also separated into offline phase and online phase. Only one multi-exponentiation is required for the verifier in the online phase. In addition, our signature is short which gives about 480 bits for 80-bit security. Our scheme indeed improves the efficiency of signature verification since no pairing operation is required in the online phase. We also give a generic construction of OVS schemes using the idea of double trapdoor chameleon hash.
