Self-blindable Credential: Towards LightWeight Anonymous Entity Authentication

Yanjiang Yang, Xuhua Ding, Haibing Lu, and Jian Weng

Abstract

We are witnessing the rapid expansion of smart devices in our daily life. The need for individual privacy protection calls for anonymous entity authentication techniques with affordable efficiency upon the resource-constrained smart devices. Towards this objective, in this paper we propose self-blindable credential, a lightweight anonymous entity authentication primitive. We provide a formulation of the primitive and present two concrete instantiations. The first scheme implements verifier-local revocation and the second scheme enhances the former with forward security. Our analytical performance results show that our schemes outperform relevant existing schemes.
