ON THE SECURITY OF ADDING CONFIRMERS INTO DESIGNATED CONFIRMER SIGNATURES

Wataru Senga, Hiroshi Doi

2009

Abstract

In designated confirmer signature (DCS) scheme, a signature can be verified only by interacting with a semitrusted third party, called the confirmer. In previous DCS schemes, a confirmer is designated at the time of the signature generation. So once the designated confirmer becomes unavailable, no one can verify the validity of the signature. In this paper, we introduce an extended DCS scheme which the confirmers can be added after the signature is generated. We give the new model and the security definitions, and propose the concrete scheme that is provably secure without random oracles.
