Abstract

The possibility of digital signatures is one of the advantages of asymmetric cryptographic systems. The processing effort, however, is still an obstacle to widespread use of digital signatures, particularly when using smart cards. A more attractive idea is to realize digital signatures with one-time signatures using (conventional) hash functions. In this paper different such procedures, known in theory, will be presented comprehensively and analysed as to their practicality. It is concluded that digital signatures cannot be performed significantly faster with one-time signatures using optimally implemented hash functions than with asymmetric algorithms.
