초록

Designated verifier signatures allow a signer to prove the validity of a signature to a specifically designated verifier. The designated verifier can be convinced but unable to prove the source of the message to a third party. Unlike conventional digital signatures, designated verifier signatures make it possible for a signer to repudiate his/her signature against anyone except the designated verifier. Recently, two designated verifier signature schemes, Zhang et al.'s scheme and Kang et al.'s scheme, have been shown to be insecure by concrete attacks. In this paper, we find the essential reason that the schemes open attacks while those were given with its security proofs, and show that Huang-Chou scheme and Du-Wen scheme have the same problem. Indeed, the security proofs of all the schemes reflect no message attackers only. Next, we show that Huang-Chou scheme is insecure by presenting universal forgery attack. Finally, we show that Du-Wen scheme is, indeed, secure by completing its defective security proof.

Abstract

Designated verifier signatures allow a signer to prove the validity of a signature to a specifically designated verifier. The designated verifier can be convinced but unable to prove the source of the message to a third party. Unlike conventional digital signatures, designated verifier signatures make it possible for a signer to repudiate his/her signature against anyone except the designated verifier. Recently, two designated verifier signature schemes, Zhang et al.'s scheme and Kang et al.'s scheme, have been shown to be insecure by concrete attacks. In this paper, we find the essential reason that the schemes open attacks while those were given with its security proofs, and show that Huang-Chou scheme and Du-Wen scheme have the same problem. Indeed, the security proofs of all the schemes reflect no message attackers only. Next, we show that Huang-Chou scheme is insecure by presenting universal forgery attack. Finally, we show that Du-Wen scheme is, indeed, secure by completing its defective security proof.
