Abstract

Nominative signature, introduced by Kim, Park and Won, is a useful cryptographic primitive to limit the publicly verifiable property of ordinary digital signature. In a nominative signature scheme, a nominator and a nominee jointly generate a signature in such a way that only the nominee can check the validity of the signature and further convince a third party of the fact. However, Kim et al.'s Schnorr-based nominative signature scheme was found to be insecure. In this paper, we propose a new nominative signature scheme based on Schnorr signature. Formal proofs are provided to show that our scheme is provably secure under some standard complexity assumptions in the random oracle model.
