A novel group signature with one time secret key

摘要

A new group signature with one time secret key is proposed. The main merits are that it only needs the trusted center issuing the partial secret key one time for each group member; and that the group member can generate his different secret key each time when he wants to sign a message. The group public key is constant and the size of the signature is independent of the number of group members. The total computation cost of signature and verification requires only 8 modular exponentiations.
