Attribute based tracing for securing group signatures against centralized authorities (Q6111600)

In this paper, a decentralized tracing mechanism for group signature schemes is proposed. To make group members accountable for their signatures, the proposed attribute-based tracing method allows users to select a tracer for their signatures based on the tracer's attributes and the decentralized tracing key generation method. The proposal is presented on 5 schemes: process of the scheme, algorithms of the scheme, join-issue algorithms, tracer key generation algorithms, and oracles. Detailed proofs and data on experimental use are not presented, the authors claim that ``The security proof of our proposal is similar to the proof given in dynamic group signatures of [\textit{M. Bellare} et al., Lect. Notes Comput. Sci. 3376, 136--153 (2005; Zbl 1079.94013)]'' and promise that the detailed security proof of the scheme will be presented in an extended version of the paper. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1516.68027].
