Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) In this paper, we propose a new class of threshold group signature schemes. In this scheme the group signature can be constructed when the K members among N members of the group G agree to sign a message, where K is an appropriately chosen number. We show that in our proposed scheme, the total size of the public keys for the group signature scheme can be made very small even when the number of group members takes on the large value. In a modified version of our proposed scheme, a large fraction of public keys of both center and members can be substituted by a public hash function whose input variables are ID information of center and members. We also show that, by assuming the existence of independent centers who are not cooperative, any person including a center who was strongly involved when generating the public and secret keys of all the individual members and the group G itself, cannot forgery the publicized group signature signed by the K members of the group G.
