Title:
New Number-Theoretic Cryptographic Primitives

Authors: Eric Brier, Houda Ferradi, Marc Joye, David Naccache

Abstract:

This paper introduces new p^r q-based one-way functions and companion signature schemes. The new signature schemes are interesting because they do not belong to the two common design blueprints, which are the inversion of a trapdoor permutation and the Fiat–Shamir transform. In the basic signature scheme, the signer generates multiple RSA-like moduli n_i = p_i^2 q_i and keeps their factors secret. The signature is a bounded-size prime whose Jacobi symbols with respect to the n_i's match the message digest. The generalized signature schemes replace the Jacobi symbol with higher-power residue symbols. Given of their very unique design the proposed signature schemes seem to be overlooked missing species in the corpus of known signature algorithms.
