Abstract

In a confirmer signature, verification of a signature requires collaboration of the confirmer. A Fail-Stop Confirmer signature provides protection against an enemy with unlimited computational power. A Fail-Stop Confirmer signature is a combination of Fail-Stop Signature and Confirmer Signature Schemes which was first constructed in [15]. In this paper we discuss security issues that will arise in naive construction of such systems.
