Abstract

Several threshold RSA signature schemes have been proposed, in particular the schemes [4,8] and [20]. Recent research has shown that the earlier schemes [4,8] may be in some cases more “efficient” than these later schemes. Here we describe efficient implementations of threshold RSA schemes as well as further enhancements to improve performance of the Desmedt-Frankel scheme. Our conclusion is that if memory is not an issue there will be situations, for example if one can expect shareholders know who will be participating in the signature generation, that the Desmedt-Frankel scheme is very efficient.
