New Number-Theoretic Cryptographic Primitives

Abstract
This paper introduces new $p^r q$-based one-way functions and companion signature schemes. The new signature schemes are interesting because they do not belong to the two common design blueprints, which are the inversion of a trapdoor permutation and the Fiat--Shamir transform. In the basic signature scheme, the signer generates multiple RSA-like moduli $n_i = p_i^2 q_i$ and keeps their factors secret. The signature is a bounded-size prime whose Jacobi symbols with respect to the $n_i$'s match the message digest. The generalized signature schemes replace the Jacobi symbol with higher-power residue symbols. Given of their very unique design the proposed signature schemes seem to be overlooked missing species in the corpus of known signature algorithms.
