Homomorphic Trapdoors for Identity-based and Group Signatures
Abstract
Group signature (GS) schemes are an important primitive in cryptography that provides anonymity and traceability for a group of users. In this paper, we propose a new approach to constructing GS schemes using the homomorphic trapdoor function (HTDF). We focus on constructing an identity-based homomorphic signature (IBHS) scheme using the trapdoor, providing a simpler scheme that has no zero-knowledge proofs. Our scheme allows packing more data into the signatures by elevating the existing homomorphic trapdoor from the SIS assumption to the MSIS assumption to enable packing techniques. Compared to the existing group signature schemes, we provide a straightforward and alternate construction that is efficient and secure under the standard model. Overall, our proposed scheme provides an efficient and secure solution for GS schemes using HTDF.
