Self-blindable Credential: Towards Anonymous Entity Authentication Upon Resource Constrained Devices

摘要

We are witnessing the rapid expansion of smart devices in our daily life. The need for individual privacy protection calls for anonymous entity authentication techniques with affordable efficiency upon the resource-constrained smart devices. Towards this objective, in this paper we propose self-blindable credential, a lightweight anonymous entity authentication primitive. We provide a formulation of the primitive and present two concrete instantiations.
