Abstract(in English) We improve computational secure digital signature schemes by using public verifiers(witnesses). An honest party can commit some information to a witness' group and, latter on, call them up to prove his honesty. In order to improve the security and robustness of the scheme, we propose a protocol that ensures the anonymity of the witnesses as well as of the person using the witnesses' service. To achieve this feature, we use the concept of an anonymous channel, where the sender of a message is only allowed to know that the receiver belongs to a specific group and the receiver is ignorant about the identity of the sender. This solution can be applied to the notary problem as well.
