Abstract
Abstract In this paper, we propose a novel cryptographic primitive named reusable group fuzzy extractor (RGFE) allowing any member of a group to extract and reproduce random strings from a fuzzy and non-uniform source of high entropy (called fingerprint). Any group member can anonymously generate a random string for the group using his fingerprint and can be traced when needed, whereas other members can reproduce the string using their own fingerprints. Moreover, a fingerprint can be repeatedly used to generate multiple random strings. Basing on RGFE, we present group-shared Bitcoin wallet, which can be used by a group of users to receive or spend coins via biometrics in a traceable way.
