Zero-knowledge identification scheme based on Weil pairing

Abstract

Zero knowledge turned out to be a useful tool for many cryptographic applications. Many cryptographic protocols based on bilinear pairings, namely the Weil and Tate pairings, have been proposed recently. In this paper, first elliptic curves and weil pairing would be introduced. In addition a new zero-knowledge identification scheme based on weil pairing is proposed. Finally, our scheme is compared with some identification schemes. Also we have described zero-knowledge property of the scheme and evaluation security analysis of proposed scheme.
