Title:
Secure Proxy Signature Schemes for Delegation of Signing Rights
Authors: Alexandra Boldyreva, Adriana Palacio, Bogdan Warinschi
Abstract:A proxy signature scheme permits an entity to
delegate its signing rights to another entity. These schemes have
been suggested for use in numerous applications, particularly in
distributed computing. But to date, no proxy signature schemes
with guaranteed security have been proposed; no precise
definitions or proofs of security have been provided for such
schemes. In this paper, we formalize a notion of security for
proxy signature schemes and present provably-secure schemes. We
analyze the security of the well-known delegation-by-certificate
scheme and show that after some slight but important
modifications, the resulting scheme is secure, assuming the
underlying standard signature scheme is secure. We then show that
employment of the recently introduced aggregate signature schemes
permits bandwidth and computational savings. Finally, we analyze
the proxy signature scheme of Kim, Park and Won, which offers
important performance benefits. We propose modifications to this
scheme that preserve its efficiency, and yield a proxy signature
scheme that is provably secure in the random-oracle model, under
the discrete-logarithm assumption.
