Abstract

Lattice-based hierarchical identity-based signature HIBS schemes are receiving significant attention due to provable security reductions and potential security for quantum computers. However, most of the existing HIBS schemes based on lattices are less efficient for practical applications. To make lattice-based HIBS schemes become more practical, this paper presents an efficient HIBS scheme from lattices. Both the secret key size and the signature length of our proposal are much shorter than those of other lattice-based HIBS proposals. Our scheme is proven to be strongly unforgeable against adaptive identity attacks in the random oracle model. The security of the construction relies on the standard short integer solution SIS assumption.
