Abstract

In this paper a new type of digital proxy signature is proposed.The proxy signature allows a designated person, called a proxy signer, to sign on behalf of an original signer.Classification of the proxy signatures is shown from the point of view of the degree of delegation, and conditions of a proposed proxy signature for partial delegation are clarified.The proposed proxy signature scheme is based on the discrete logarithm problem.Compared to the consecutive execution of the ordinary digital signature schemes, it has a direct form, and a verifier does not need a public key of a user other than the original signer in the verification stage.Moreover, it requires less amount of computational work than the consecutive execution of the signature schemes.Due to this efficiency together with the delegation property, an organization, e.g. a software company, can very efficiently create many signatures of its own by delegating its signing operations to multiple employees.Another attractive feature of the proposed schemes is their highapplicability to other ordinary signature schemes based on the discrete logarithm problem.For instance, designated confirmer proxy signatures can be constructed.Furthermore, using a proposed on-line proxy updating protocol, the original signer can revoke proxies of dishonest proxy signers.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
