The Modified Signature Scheme Based on Factoring and Discrete Logarithms
Eddie Shahril Ismail, Nedal Mohammad Tahat · Information Security Journal A Global Perspective · 2011
Laih and Kuo developed two highly secure and efficient signature schemes based on factoring and discrete logarithms. Unfortunately, their schemes require many keys for signing document and verifying signature. Li, Tzeng, and Hwang improved one of their schemes and managed to reduce the number of keys, but unfortunately the improved scheme was shown to be insecure by Qian, Chao, and Bao. In this paper, a new modified scheme of Li-Tzeng-Hwang is presented with two main results: The modified scheme requires fewer keys than the scheme by Laih and Kuo, and it is able to withstand many attacks including the one mentioned by Qian, Chao and Bao.
