A Novel Linkable Ring Signature on Ideal Lattices

In this paper, a novel linkable ring signature scheme is constructed. The hash value of the public key in the ring and the signer’s private key are based on random numbers. This setting makes it unnecessary to set the linkable label separately for our constructed scheme. When judging the linkability...

description In this paper, a novel linkable ring signature scheme is constructed. The hash value of the public key in the ring and the signer’s private key are based on random numbers. This setting makes it unnecessary to set the linkable label separately for our constructed scheme. When judging the linkability, it is necessary to determine whether the number of the intersections of the two sets reaches the threshold related to the number of the ring members. In addition, under the random oracle model, the unforgeability is reduced to the <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>S</mi><mi>V</mi><msub><mi>P</mi><mi>γ</mi></msub></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> problem. The anonymity is proved based on the definition of statistical distance and its properties.
