Title:
Comments on a Threshold Proxy Signature Scheme Based on the RSA Cryptosystem

Authors: Guilin Wang, Feng Bao, Jianying Zhou, Robert H. Deng

Abstract:

In a (t, n) proxy signature scheme, the original signer can
delegate his/her signing capability to n proxy signers such that
any t or more proxy singers can sign messages on behalf of the
former, but t-1 or less of them cannot do the same thing. Such
schemes have been suggested for use in a number of applications,
particularly in distributed computing where delegation of rights
is quite common. Based on the RSA cryptosystem, Hwang et al.
recently proposed an efficient (t, n) threshold proxy signature
scheme. In this paper we identify several security weaknesses in their scheme and show that their scheme is insecure.
