Abstract(in English) Anonymous credential systems allow the user to convince a verifier of the possession of a certificate issued by the issuing authority anonymously. In the systems, the user can prove the relations on his/her attributes certified by the certificate. Previously, a pairing-based anonymous credential system with constant-size proofs in the number of attributes of the user has been proposed. This system supports the proofs of the inner product relations on attributes, and thus can handle any CNF (or DNF) formula on attributes. However, in this system, the proof generation needs exponentiations depending on the number of the literals in OR relations. In this paper, we propose a pairing-based anonymous credential system with the constant-size proofs for CNF formulas, where the proof generation needs only multiplications depending on the number of literals, and thus it is more efficient. The key of our construction is to use an extended accumulator, by which we can verify that multiple attributes are included in multiple sets, all at once. This leads to the verification of CNF formulas on attributes. Since the accumulator is mainly calculated by multiplications, we achieve the better computational costs.
