A New Construction of Fuzzy Identity Based Signature Scheme
Changji Wang · Journal of information and communication convergence engineering · 2009
Sahai and Waters first introduced the concept of Fuzzy Identity Based Encryption (FIBE) to provide an error-tolerance property for Identity Based Encryption (IBE) in 2005. Yang et al. extended this idea and introduced the concept of Fuzzy Identity Based Signature (FIBS) in 2008, and constructed a FIBS scheme based on Sahai and Waters's FIBE scheme. In this paper, we further formalize the notion and security model of FIBS scheme and propose a new construction of FIBS scheme based on bilinear pairing. The proposed FIBS scheme not only provide shorter public parameters, private key and signature, but also have useful structures which result in more efficient key extraction, signing and verification than that of Yang et al.'s FIBS scheme.
