Adaptive Universal Composability Framework for Server-Aided Threshold Signature
Xuan Hong, Luqun Li · Research Journal of Applied Sciences Engineering and Technology · 2013
The threshold signature scheme is a protocol that allows any subset of t parties out of n to generate a signature. Since the t members can cooperate together to compute the secret key, we introduce the server-aided threshold signature, which provides controllability for activating the signing function in a certain enhanced way. In this study, we present a server-aided threshold RSA signature protocol against the adaptive attacks. We give the universally composable secure model for the server-aided threshold signature primitive and prove that the proposed protocol is claimed to be well-formed, correct and unforgeability. As a separate contribution we also prove that it is also secure in the adaptive universal composability framework. After the discussion about the security and the performance, we claim that the protocol is practical and efficient.
