Self-blindable Credential: Towards LightWeight Anonymous Entity Authentication.
Yanjiang Yang, Xuhua Ding, Haibing Lu, Jian Weng · 2013
Abstract. We are witnessing the rapid expansion of smart devices in our daily life. The need for individual privacy protection calls for anonymous entity authentication techniques with affordable effi-ciency upon the resource-constrained smart devices. Towards this objective, in this paper we propose self-blindable credential, a lightweight anonymous entity authentication primitive. We provide a formula-tion of the primitive and present two concrete instantiations. The first scheme implements verifier-local revocation and the second scheme enhances the former with forward security. Our analytical perfor-mance results show that our schemes outperform relevant existing schemes. 1
