Abstract

The concept of group signatures allows a group member to sign messages anonymously on behalf of the group. However, in the case of a dispute, the identity of a signature's originator can be revealed by a designated entity. In this paper we propose a new group signature scheme that is well suited for large groups, i.e., the length of the group's public key and of signatures do not depend on the size of the group. Our solution based on a variation of the RSA problem is more efficient than previous ones satisfying these requirements.
