Abstract(in English) Rivest, Shamir, and Tauman have proposed a ring signature scheme such that a verifier can make sure that someone in a group signs a message, but cannot decide the identification of the signer. The application of the ring signature is whistle-blowing. Without revealing the identification of the signer, the third party can check the validity of the message. In this paper, we propose the generalized version of the ring signature scheme, which makes it possible for k members to sign a message without revealing their identification to the verifier. We show two implementations of such a signature scheme; one is based on zero-knowledge proof of random self-reducible problems, and the other is based on the polynomial over a finite field. Similar to the ring signature scheme, the anonymity of signers in our schemes is unconditional. Namely, the identification of the signers is impossible even if unlimited computational resources are available. The construction of our schemes is different from that of the ring signature; our schemes do not make the ring of signatures.
