Abstract

A proxy signature enables an entity to transfer its signing rights to another entity, called the proxy signer, without actually sharing its signing key. Most of the proxy signatures in literature have been designed using bilinear pairing on the elliptic curve group with the aim of providing either the property of being identity-based or efficiency or security. But almost all of these schemes do not provide all these three desirable properties together and most of the identity-based proxy signature (IBPS) schemes are either too inefficient or their security is based on non-standard assumptions to have practical significance. In this paper, we propose an efficient and provably secure identity-based proxy signature scheme from bilinear pairing based on a standard assumption, the hardness of the computational Diffie-Hellman problem. The proposed scheme is secure against existential forgery on adaptive chosen-message and adaptive chosen-ID attack in the random oracle model. Moreover, we do an efficiency analysis and show that our scheme is significantly more efficient in the view of computation and operation time than the existing similar schemes.
