Title:
Partially blind password-based signatures using elliptic curves

Authors: Kristian Gjøsteen

Abstract:

Password-based signatures allow a user who can only remember a password to create digital signatures with the help of a server, without revealing the messages to be signed to the server. Certain applications require the ability to disclose part of the message to the server. We define partially blind password-based signatures and construct a scheme based that we prove secure, based on a novel computational problem related to computing discrete logarithms. Our scheme is based on Nyberg-Rueppel signatures. We give a variant of Nyberg-Rueppel signatures that we prove secure based on our novel computational problem. Unlike previous password-based signature schemes, our scheme can be instantiated using elliptic curve arithmetic over small prime fields. This is important for many applications
