Abstract

With the explosion of the mobile communication market,more and more handheld devices act as clients in the Internet.People use these devices to purchase books, play games,receive emails, etc. For protecting privacies, such applicationsshould integrate digital signature schemes. Sincehandheld devices have poor computational capabilities andlimited battery life, traditional computation intensive digitalsignature protocols that are based on asymmetric cryptographicalgorithms are not suitable for mobile devices.In this paper, we propose a Server Based Signature (SBS)scheme for mobile devices. Besides achieving the same securitylevel of the traditional digital signature protocols, theSBS scheme also: 1) reduces the computation complexityon the mobile devices; 2) reduces the communication consumptionbetween signer and verifier. Application resultsshow that our scheme is very useful for mobile communicationsystems.
