Title:
Efficient online and Non-Interactive Threshold Signatures with Identifiable Aborts for Identity-Based Signatures in the IEEE P1363 Standard

Authors: Yan Jiang, Youwen Zhu, Jian Wang, Yudi Zhang

Abstract:

Identity-based threshold signature (IDTS) enables the generation of valid signatures without revealing cryptographic keys in the signing process. While current protocols have achieved much progress in their efficiency, many schemes easily suffer from denial-of-service attacks in which misbehaving parties could keep from generating signatures without being caught. The identifiable abort property is designed to withstand such an attack in some recent IDTS protocols. However, all these schemes require many rounds of interaction for the resulting signature or utilize cryptographic techniques, which have a high complexity. In this study, we put forward a novel IDTS protocol that can achieve identifiable abort and resist arbitrary collusion attacks. Precisely, this ensures that corrupted parties are responsible in case of failure and cannot jointly obtain the input of honest parties. Moreover, we present the ideal IDTS functionality and provide the provable security of the proposed protocol with the global random oracle model. Our scheme has non-interactive signing, compatibility with the offline/online settings, and practical efficiency for the online phase. Finally, we give theoretical analyses and experimental results of our solution, showing that the signing time is less than two milliseconds and that the scheme is suitable for resource-constrained settings.
