Abstract

This paper presents the concept of anonymous identification card, a technique enabling a card holder to demonstrates his/her authenticity without disclosing real identity. Anonymous identification card can be used in settings in which people need to demonstrate their eligibility to do certain things, meanwhile they are sensitive to their privacy, not hoping to disclose their identity information to a verifier. We proposed an efficient anonymous authentication scheme for this anonymous identification card, with the support of rogue card revocation. The most advantage of our scheme is its simplicity and efficiency such that all computation can be carried out by a resource-limited identification card. We proved our scheme is secure under the strong RSA assumption and the decisional Diffie-Hellman assumption.
