Novel efficient identity-based signature on lattices

With the rapid development of electronic information technology, digital signature has become an indispensable part of our lives. Traditional public key certificate cryptosystems cannot overcome the limitations of certificate management. Identity-based cryptosystems can avoid the certificate management issues. The development of quantum computers has brought serious challenges to traditional cryptography. Post-quantum cryptography research is imperative. At present, almost all post-quantum identity-based signature (IBS) schemes are constructed using Gaussian sampling or trapdoor technologies. However, these two technologies have a great impact on computational efficiency. To overcome this problem, we construct an IBS scheme on lattices by employing Lyubashevsky's signature scheme. Based on the shortest vector problem on lattices, our scheme does not use Gaussian sampling or trapdoor technologies. In the random oracle model, it is proved that our scheme is strongly unforgeable against adaptive chosen messages and identity attacks. The security level of our scheme is strongly unforgeable, which is a higher level than the existential unforgeability of other schemes. Compared with other efficient schemes, our scheme has advantages in computation complexity and security.

Automated summary

With the rapid development of electronic information technology, digital signatures have become essential in our lives, but face challenges from quantum computing. Post-quantum cryptography research is necessary. This research proposes an IBS scheme based on lattices, which has advantages in computational complexity and security compared to other efficient schemes.
