From Random Oracles to Ideal Signatures, and Back

Cong Zhang and Hong-Sheng Zhou

Abstract

We investigate the digital signature schemes in the indifferentiability framework. We show that the well-known Lamport one-time signature scheme and the tree-based signature scheme can be ``lifted'' to realize ideal one-time signature, and ideal signature, respectively, without using computational assumptions. We for the first time show that the ideal signatures, ideal one-time signatures, and random oracles are equivalent in the framework of indifferentiability.
