Identity-based blind signature from lattices

Abstract

Blind signature allows a user to get a signature of a signer on an arbitrary message, and the verifier can convince that the signature is indeed signed by the signer without leaking any information about the message. This property is necessary when the user’s privacy needs protection, such as a bank bill, a trade secret, etc. As an alternative of public key infrastructure, the identity-based system can simplify the key management procedures in certificate-based public key systems. Inspired by the requirement of identity-based blind signature in the post quantum world, we research on identity-based blind signature based on hard lattice problems under the random Oracle model. We propose a construction built upon the blind signature by Ruckert, and it is proved to be one-more unforgeable against selective identity and chosen message attacks (sID-CMA) and unconditionally blind. The proposed scheme has 2 moves, and its security can be reduced to the small integer solution (SIS) problem.
