The Cramer-Shoup Strong-RSA Signature Scheme Revisited.
Marc Fischlin · 2002
Abstract. We discuss a modification of the Cramer-Shoup strong-RSA signature scheme. Our proposal also presumes the strong RSA assumption, but allows faster signing and verification and produces signatures of roughly half the size. Then we present a stateful version of our scheme where signing (but not verifying) becomes almost as efficient as with RSA-PSS. We also show how to turn our signature schemes into “lightweight” anonymous yet linkable group identification protocols without random oracles. 1
