On Design of Single-Layer and Multilayer Code-Based Linkable Ring Signatures

摘要

In this paper, we present an effective code-based linkable ring signature scheme based on Borromean ring signature. The security of the scheme is based on the hardness of Syndrome Decoding problem, General Syndrome Decoding problem and Codeword Finding problem. We prove that our scheme has all the properties that a linkable ring signature scheme should have: unforgeability, anonymity, linkability and non-slanderability. Efficiency analysis shows that our scheme has a smaller signature size than the existing scheme under the same security conditions. Furthermore, this signature scheme can be easily extended to multiple layers. That is, code-based multilayer linkable ring signature scheme can be obtained and used for transactions with multiple inputs.
