Abstract
Because of its wide application in anonymous authentication and attribute-based messaging, the attribute-based signature scheme has attracted the public attention since it was proposed in 2008. However, most of the existing attribute-based signature schemes are no longer secure in quantum era. Fortunately, lattice-based cryptography offers the hope of withstanding quantum computers. And lattices has elevated it to the status of a promising potential alternative to cryptography based on discrete log and factoring, owing to implementation simplicity, provable security reductions and quantum-immune. In this paper, the first lattice attribute-based signature scheme in random oracle model is proposed, which is proved existential unforgeability and perfect privacy. Compared with the current attribute-based signature schemes, our new attribute-based signature scheme can resist quantum attacks and has much shorter public-key size and signature size. Furthermore, this scheme is extended into an attribute-based signature scheme on number theory research unit (NTRU) lattice, which is also secure even in quantum era and has much higher efficiency than the former.
