ID-based threshold digital signature schemes on the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem (Q556108)

The authors introduce three so-called {identification group-oriented theshold} digital signature schemes based on the elliptic curve discrete log problem. Their goal is to optimize these techniques for implementation within a network. They cite five distinct advantages to their approach, most notably involving efficiency of security for user identification and verification, as well as smaller bandwidth and certificate sizes than those for known public-key schemes. They conclude the paper with performance analyses.
