An Efficient Hierarchical Identity-based Signature Scheme

Lei Guo, Defa Hu

Abstract


According to the hierarchical identity based encryption scheme proposed by Boneh et al., this paper utilizes bilinear pairings technique design a hierarchical in the standard model of signature schemes based on identity. The size of signature in the scheme is a constant and does not relative to hierarchy depth of the signer. In the last, we analyze the security of the scheme and prove that this scheme is existential unforgeable against selective identity, selective chosen message attack in terms of the hardness of DHI problem which is so difficult.

Keywords


Hierarchical identity based signature, Bilinear pairing, Diffie-Hellman Inversion problem.

Disclaimer/Regarding indexing issue:

We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information. Also: DOI is paid service which provided by a third party. We never mentioned that we go for this for our any journal. However, journal have no objection if author go directly for this paid DOI service.
