The digital signature technique is a popular research branch in the field of contemporary cryptography because of its popularity in both economic and official applications. As more and more information gets processed digitally, digital signatures come to play a more and more important role. The prevention of the signature repudiation is therefore a basic requirement for digital signature techniques living up to. However, in some signature schemes, the validity of the signature is confirmed through some extra parameters or by certain trusted third parties. In 1999, Araki et al. proposed a scheme known for being convertible. In their scheme, certain verifiers can examine the signature without the help of the signers. Since then, many researchers have been devoted to the research and development of schemes with such a property. In this paper, we shall propose a new convertible group signature scheme. Our new scheme is based on two assumptions: the complexity of the discrete logarithm problem and the un-reversibility of the one-way hash function. In our discussion section later, we shall consider some possible attacks and prove that our new scheme is able to survive them. In addition, the special strength of our scheme is its efficient verification mechanism.
