Title:
More Efficient Two-Round Multi-Signature Scheme with Provably Secure Parameters

Authors: Kaoru Takemure, Yusuke Sakai, Bagus Santoso, Goichiro Hanaoka, Kazuo Ohta

Abstract:

In this paper, we propose the first two-round multi-signature scheme that can guarantee 128-bit security under a standardized EC in concrete security without using the Algebraic Group Model (AGM). To construct our scheme, we introduce a new technique to tailor a certain special homomorphic commitment scheme for the use with the Katz-Wang DDH-based signature scheme. We prove that an EC with at least a 321-bit order is sufficient for our scheme to have the standard 128-bit security. This means that it is easy for our scheme to implement in practice because we can use the NIST-standardized EC P-384 for 128-bit security. The signature size of our proposed scheme under P-384 is 1152 bits, which is the smallest size among the existing schemes without using the AGM. Our experiment on an ordinary machine shows that for signing and verification, each can be completed in about 65 ms under 100 signers. This shows that our scheme has sufficiently reasonable running time in practice.
