ID-based Signatures from Pairings on Elliptic Curves
Kenneth G. Paterson
Abstract: We present an efficient identity-based signature scheme which makes
use of bilinear pairings on elliptic curves. Our scheme is similar to
the generalized ElGamal signature scheme. We consider the security of
our scheme.
