Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Transformability is a property of a digital signature such that one valid signature can be transformed into another valid signature of the same signature scheme. Usually digital signatures should not, be forged so that the transformability is regarded as an unfavorable property. Contrarily we show that the transformability can be positively utilized for solving the oracle problem. In the oracle problem an adversary tries to obtain useful information by interacting with an oracle entity. In this paper the oracle problem in the blind decoding scheme based on the ElGamal cryptosystem is solved with the use of a transformable digital signature. As in the original blind decoding scheme, the proposed blind decoding protocol offers users perfect untraceability. We also discuss the relevance of the transformable signature to the blind signature and other schemes.
