Abstract

We present data structures for complement covering with intervals and their application for digital identity revocation. We give lower bounds showing the structures to be nearly optimal. Our method improves upon the schemes proposed by S. Micali [5,6] and Aiello, Lodha, Ostrovsky [1] by reducing the communication between a Certificate Authority and public directories while keeping the number of tokens per user in the public key certificate small.
