Abstract

Rabin‘s cryptosystem was proved to be ashard as factorization. However, Rabin‘s digital signature schemesis probabilistic. This paper shows two efficient Rabin typedigital signature schemes, a basic scheme and an improved scheme.Both schemes run much faster than Rabin‘s scheme. They are deterministicand the size of a signature is much smaller than that of a signaturein Rabin‘s scheme. Furthermore, it is proved that, by applyingthe technique of Bellare and Rogaway, the proposed scheme issecure against chosen plaintext attack. More precisely, breakingthe proposed digital signature scheme by chosen plaintext attackis as hard as factoring N.
