DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

(10) The following clearly describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. The described embodiments are merely a part rather than all of the embodiments of the present disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

(11) A certificateless multi-proxy signature scheme is operated based on bilinear pairings, and the bilinear pairings involve a large computing amount and consume longer time in implementing a signature operation compared with other mechanisms. Generally, a computation cost of bilinear pairings is approximately more than 20 times that of scalar multiplication over elliptic curve group.

(12) To resolve the foregoing problem, an embodiment provides a certificateless multi-proxy signature method, and the method is executed by a proxy signature device. As shown in FIG. 1, the method may include 101. A proxy signature device computes a public key and a private key of the proxy signature device according to a public parameter.

(13) The public key is corresponding to the private key.

(14) In an implementation manner of this embodiment, in a process of implementing certificateless multi-proxy signature, first, a system may publish a public parameter. The public parameter may be acquired by any signature device, so that each signature device computes its own public key and private key according to the public parameter.

(15) The any signature device in this embodiment may be any one of the following: another proxy signature device except the proxy signature device executing this step, an original signature device, and the like.

(16) The public key and the private key are not limited in this embodiment and are technologies well known to a person skilled in the art, which are not described herein again.

(17) 102. Acquire a verification result of a standard signature and determine, according to the verification result, whether the standard signature is valid.

(18) The standard signature includes T and V, where T is obtained through computation by a standard signature computing device according to a formula T=rP, and V is obtained through computation by the standard signature computing device according to a formula V=D.sub.a+x.sub.aH.sub.1(m,T,P.sub.a)+rH.sub.2(m,T,P.sub.a), where r is randomly selected from Z*.sub.q according to a formula rZ*.sub.q; a is a sequence number of the standard signature computing device and 0al, where l is a quantity of standard signature computing devices plus one; x.sub.a is a first sub-private key included in a private key of the standard signature computing device; D.sub.a is a second sub-private key included in the private key of the standard signature computing device; m is a message m input by a transmit end; P.sub.a is a public key of the standard signature computing device; and the public parameter includes H.sub.1(), H.sub.2(), and P, where P is a generator of G, and G is a group G whose order is a prime number q.

(19) In an implementation manner of this embodiment, a standard signature verification device may first acquire the standard signature from the standard signature computing device, and then the proxy signature device may acquire the verification result of the standard signature from the standard signature verification device, where the verification result may be used to represent whether the standard signature is valid.

(20) 103. The proxy signature device computes a partial proxy signature of the proxy signature device according to the private key if the verification result is used to represent that the standard signature is valid.

(21) In the process of implementing certificateless multi-proxy signature, the original signature device may authorize multiple proxy signature devices to perform multi-proxy signature. The multiple proxy signature devices may compute their partial proxy signatures according to their own private keys. A proxy signature device administrator may perform a corresponding operation on the partial proxy signatures of all the proxy signature devices to obtain a multi-proxy signature, and determine the multi-proxy signature as a signature of the original signature device.

(22) To execute the subsequent step, first, the proxy signature device may compute the partial proxy signature of the proxy signature device according to the private key.

(23) 104. The proxy signature device sends the partial proxy signature to a proxy signature device administrator, so that after the proxy signature device administrator obtains a multi-proxy signature through computation according to the partial proxy signature, a multi-proxy signature verification device verifies the multi-proxy signature.

(24) In an implementation manner of this embodiment, after the proxy signature device obtains its partial proxy signature through computation according to its own private key, the proxy signature device may send the partial proxy signature to the proxy signature device administrator. After receiving partial proxy signatures of all proxy signature devices, the proxy signature device administrator computes the multi-proxy signature according to the partial proxy signatures of all the proxy signature devices. The verification device may verify the multi-proxy signature.

(25) It should be noted that the proxy signature device administrator may be any proxy signature device.

(26) In this solution, a multi-proxy signature is computed according to a private key, and then the multi-proxy signature is verified according to a public key. Because computing time (which may include time for computing the public key and the private key) of the method in the present disclosure is less than time for computing bilinear pairings, compared with a multi-proxy signature based on the bilinear pairings, this solution decreases a computing amount, thereby reducing computing time.

(27) An embodiment provides another certificateless multi-proxy signature method, where the method may be executed by a multi-proxy signature verification device. As shown in FIG. 2, the method may include 201. A multi-proxy signature verification device acquires a multi-proxy signature after a standard signature verification device verifies that a standard signature is valid.

(28) The standard signature includes T and V, where T is obtained through computation by a standard signature computing device according to a formula T=rP, and V is obtained through computation by the standard signature computing device according to a formula V=D.sub.a+x.sub.aH.sub.1(m,T,P.sub.a)+rH.sub.2(m,T,P.sub.a); the multi-proxy signature is obtained through computation by a proxy signature device administrator according to a partial proxy signature of each proxy signature device; and the partial proxy signature is obtained through computation by the proxy signature device according to a private key of the proxy signature device, where r is randomly selected from Z*.sub.q according to a formula rZ*.sub.q; a is a sequence number of the standard signature computing device and 0al, where l is a quantity of standard signature computing devices plus one; x.sub.a is a first sub-private key included in a private key of the standard signature computing device; D.sub.a is a second sub-private key included in the private key of the standard signature computing device; m is a message m input by a transmit end; P.sub.a is a public key of the standard signature computing device; and the public parameter includes H.sub.1(), H.sub.2 (), and P, where P is a generator of G, and G is a group G whose order is a prime number q.

(29) The multi-proxy signature may be obtained through computation by the proxy signature device administrator according to the partial proxy signature of each proxy signature device.

(30) The partial proxy signature may be obtained through computation by a corresponding proxy signature device according to a private key of the proxy signature device, where the public key is corresponding to the private key.

(31) In an implementation manner of this embodiment, the multi-proxy signature may be mainly used to check whether a transmitted message is complete.

(32) For example, to ensure reliability of a message m (which may be input by an input end) received by a receive end, the message m may be encrypted, that is, a multi-proxy signature of the message m may be computed, and the multi-proxy signature is verified.

(33) 202. The multi-proxy signature verification device verifies the multi-proxy signature according to a public key of each proxy signature device.

(34) In an implementation manner of this embodiment, the verification device verifies the multi-proxy signature according to the public key of each proxy signature device. If a verification result is that the multi-proxy signature is valid, it indicates that the message m may be complete. If the verification result is that the multi-proxy signature is invalid, it indicates that the message m may be incomplete.

(35) In this solution, a multi-proxy signature is computed according to a private key, and then the multi-proxy signature is verified according to a public key. Because computing time (that is, time for computing the public key and the private key) of the method in the present disclosure is less than time for computing bilinear pairings, compared with a multi-proxy signature based on the bilinear pairings, this solution decreases a computing amount, thereby reducing computing time.

(36) An embodiment provides still another certificateless multi-proxy signature method, where the method further extends and optimizes the methods shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B, the method may include 301. A proxy signature device acquires a public parameter.

(37) In an implementation manner of this embodiment, a private key generator (PKG) selects a group G whose order is a prime number q and randomly selects sZ*.sub.q as a master key, to compute a corresponding system public key P.sub.pub=sP, where P is a generator of G. Moreover, the PKG may randomly select five different cryptographic hash functions H,H.sub.1,H.sub.2,H.sub.3,H.sub.4:{0,1}*.fwdarw.Z*.sub.q.

(38) The public parameter may include G, P, q, H(), H.sub.1(), H.sub.2(), H.sub.3(), H.sub.4(), and P.sub.pub, that is, params=(G,P,q,H,H.sub.1,H.sub.2,H.sub.3,H.sub.4,P.sub.pub).

(39) The public parameter in this embodiment may be acquired by any device (a device such as the proxy signature device or an original signature device).

(40) 302. Each proxy signature device computes its own public key and private key according to the public parameter.

(41) A signature device in this embodiment may include the proxy signature device, the original signature device, and another signature device except the proxy signature device and the original signature device.

(42) Further, the private key may include a first sub-private key and a second sub-private key.

(68) In certificateless multi-proxy signature, the original signature device may authorize another proxy signature device to perform signature. In this step, the original signature device mainly performs authorization on the proxy signature device. The original signature device may first compute, according to the private key of the original signature device, an authorization signature of each proxy signature device. If each proxy signature device verifies that a corresponding authorization signature is valid, it indicates that the proxy signature device is authorized to perform multi-proxy signature.

(75) Further, the proxy signature device may acquire a multi-proxy key, where the multi-proxy key may include P.sub.i, T.sub.0, and V.sub.0, that is, (x.sub.i,D.sub.i), T.sub.0, and V.sub.0.

(76) 309. The proxy signature device acquires the verification result of the standard signature from the standard signature verification device, and determines, according to the verification result, whether the standard signature is valid. If it is verified that the standard signature is valid, execute step 310; if it is verified that the standard signature is invalid, end the procedure.

(77) 310. The proxy signature device computes a partial proxy signature of the proxy signature device according to the private key.

(78) In an implementation manner of this embodiment, that the proxy signature device computes a partial proxy signature of the proxy signature device according to the private key may be that each proxy signature device computes its partial proxy signature according to the multi-proxy key.

(80) For example, a proxy signature device with a sequence number of 1 (that is, i=1) randomly selects r.sub.1 from Z*.sub.q according to a formula r.sub.1Z*.sub.q, computes T.sub.1 according to a formula T.sub.1=r.sub.1P, and computes V.sub.1 according to a formula V.sub.1=D.sub.1+x.sub.1H.sub.3(m,T.sub.1,P.sub.1)+r.sub.1H.sub.4(m,T.sub.1,P.sub.1), where a partial proxy signature may include , T.sub.0, V.sub.0, T.sub.1, and V.sub.1. Another proxy signature device computes its own partial proxy signature according to the private key by using a same method as the foregoing enumerated method, which is described in this step.

(81) It should be noted that, in this step, multiple proxy signature devices may simultaneously compute their respective partial proxy signatures.

(82) 311. The proxy signature device sends the partial proxy signature to a proxy signature device administrator.

(83) It should be noted that, in this step, all the multiple proxy signature devices may send their respective partial proxy signatures to the proxy signature device administrator.

(84) 312. The proxy signature device administrator performs verification according to the received partial proxy signature and determines whether it is verified that the partial proxy signature is valid; if it is verified that the partial proxy signature is valid, step 313 is executed; if it is verified that the partial proxy signature is invalid, the procedure ends.

(85) Further, the proxy signature device administrator verifies the formula V.sub.0P=P.sub.pubH(ID.sub.0,P.sub.0)+P.sub.0H.sub.1(,T.sub.0,P.sub.0)+T.sub.0H.sub.2 (,T.sub.0,P.sub.0) and a formula V.sub.iP=P.sub.pubH(ID.sub.i,P.sub.i)+P.sub.iH.sub.3(m,T.sub.i,P.sub.i)+T.sub.iH.sub.4(m,T.sub.i,P.sub.i) according to the received partial proxy signature.

(86) If all formulas included in the formula V.sub.0P=P.sub.pubH(ID.sub.0,P.sub.0)+P.sub.0H.sub.1(,T.sub.0,P.sub.0)+T.sub.0H.sub.2(,T.sub.0,P.sub.0) and the formula V.sub.iP=P.sub.pubH(ID.sub.i,P.sub.i)+P.sub.iH.sub.3(m,T.sub.i,P.sub.i)+T.sub.iH.sub.4(m,T.sub.i,P.sub.i) hold, it indicates that the partial proxy signature may be valid through verification; if all formulas included in the formula V.sub.0P=P.sub.pubH(ID.sub.0,P.sub.0)+P.sub.0H.sub.1(,T.sub.0,P.sub.0)+T.sub.0H.sub.2(,T.sub.0,P.sub.0) and the formula V.sub.iP=P.sub.pubH(ID.sub.i,P.sub.i)+P.sub.iH.sub.3(m,T.sub.i,P.sub.i)+T.sub.iH.sub.4(m,T.sub.i,P.sub.i) hold, it indicates that the partial proxy signature may be invalid through verification.

(87) 313. The proxy signature device administrator computes a multi-proxy signature according to the received partial proxy signature.

(88) Further, the proxy signature device administrator may compute the multi-proxy signature according to a formula =(,T.sub.MP,V.sub.MP), where is the multi-proxy signature, T.sub.MP=(T.sub.0, T.sub.1, . . . , T.sub.n), and V.sub.MP=.sub.i=0.sup.nV.sub.i.

(89) 314. The verification device verifies the multi-proxy signature.

(90) Further, the verification device may verify the multi-proxy signature according to a formula V.sub.MPP=P.sub.pub.sub.i=0.sup.nH(ID.sub.i,P.sub.i)+.sub.i=1.sup.nP.sub.iH.sub.3(m,T.sub.i,P.sub.i)+.sub.i=1.sup.nT.sub.iH.sub.4(m,T.sub.i,P.sub.i)+P.sub.0H.sub.1(,T.sub.0,P.sub.0)+T.sub.0H.sub.2(,T.sub.0,P.sub.0).

(91) If the formula V.sub.MPP=P.sub.pub.sub.i=0.sup.nH(ID.sub.i,P.sub.i)+.sub.i=1.sup.nP.sub.iH.sub.3(m,T.sub.i,P.sub.i)+.sub.i=1.sup.nT.sub.iH.sub.4(m,T.sub.i,P.sub.i)+P.sub.0H.sub.1(,T.sub.0,P.sub.0)+T.sub.0H.sub.2(,T.sub.0,P.sub.0) holds, it indicates that the multi-proxy signature may be valid; if the formula V.sub.MPP=P.sub.pub.sub.i=0.sup.nH(ID.sub.i,P.sub.i)+.sub.i=1.sup.nP.sub.iH.sub.3(m,T.sub.i,P.sub.i)+.sub.i=1.sup.nT.sub.iH.sub.4(m,T.sub.i,P.sub.i)+P.sub.0H.sub.1(,T.sub.0,P.sub.0)+T.sub.0H.sub.2(,T.sub.0,P.sub.0) does not hold, it indicates that the multi-proxy signature may be invalid.

(92) In this solution, a multi-proxy signature is computed according to a private key, and then the multi-proxy signature is verified according to a public key. Because computing time (which may include time for computing the public key and the private key) of the method in the present disclosure is less than time for computing bilinear pairings, compared with a multi-proxy signature based on the bilinear pairings, this solution decreases a computing amount, thereby reducing computing time. In addition, no certificate is introduced in computing the public key, ensuring that no certificate is disclosed. Computing the private key according to the public key can enable the public key and the private key to restrict each other and avoid a public key replacement attack.

(95) In this solution, a multi-proxy signature is computed according to a private key, and then the multi-proxy signature is verified according to a public key. Because computing time (which may include time for computing the public key and the private key) of the method in the present disclosure is less than time for computing bilinear pairings, compared with a multi-proxy signature based on the bilinear pairings, this solution decreases a computing amount, thereby reducing computing time.

(136) Further, the processor 15 is configured to determine whether the proxy signature device administrator verifies, according to the partial proxy signature of each proxy signature device, that both of a formula V.sub.0P=H(ID.sub.0,P.sub.0)+P.sub.0H.sub.1(,T.sub.0,P.sub.0)+T.sub.0H.sub.2(,T.sub.0,P.sub.0) and a formula V.sub.iP=P.sub.pubH(ID.sub.i,P.sub.i)+P.sub.iH.sub.3(m,T.sub.i,P.sub.i)+T.sub.iH.sub.4(m,T.sub.i,P.sub.i) hold, and if yes, compute the multi-proxy signature according to a formula =(,T.sub.MP,V.sub.MP); where V.sub.0 is obtained through computation by the original signature device according to a formula V.sub.0=D.sub.0+x.sub.0H.sub.1(,T.sub.0,P.sub.0)+r.sub.0H.sub.2(,T.sub.0,P.sub.0); includes identity information of the proxy signature device and identity information of the original signature device, T.sub.0 is obtained through computation by the original signature device according to a formula T.sub.0=r.sub.0P, and r.sub.0 is randomly selected by the original signature device from Z*.sub.q according to a formula r.sub.0Z*.sub.q; is the multi-proxy signature; T.sub.MP=(T.sub.0,T.sub.1, . . . , T.sub.n), where T.sub.i is obtained through computation by a proxy signature device with a sequence number of i according to a formula T.sub.i=r.sub.iP, where r.sub.i is randomly selected by the proxy signature device with the sequence number of i from Z*.sub.q according to a formula r.sub.iZ*.sub.q; V.sub.MP=.sub.i=0.sup.nV.sub.i, where V.sub.i is obtained through computation by the proxy signature device with the sequence number of i according to a formula V.sub.i=D.sub.i+x.sub.iH.sub.3(m,T.sub.i,P.sub.i)+r.sub.iH.sub.4(m,T.sub.i,P.sub.i), i (1in) is a sequence number of the proxy signature device, and n is a quantity of proxy signature devices; and the public parameter further includes H.sub.3() and H.sub.4().

(137) Further, the processor 15 is configured to verify the multi-proxy signature according to a formula V.sub.MPP=P.sub.pub.sub.i=0.sup.nH(ID.sub.i,P.sub.i)+.sub.i=1.sup.nP.sub.iH.sub.3(m,T.sub.i,P.sub.i)+.sub.i=1.sup.nT.sub.iH.sub.4(m,T.sub.i,P.sub.i)+P.sub.0H.sub.1(,T.sub.0,P.sub.0)+T.sub.0H.sub.2(,T.sub.0,P.sub.0).

(138) In this solution, a multi-proxy signature is computed according to a private key, and then the multi-proxy signature is verified according to a public key. Because computing time (which may include time for computing the public key and the private key) of the method in the present disclosure is less than time for computing bilinear pairings, compared with a multi-proxy signature based on the bilinear pairings, this solution decreases a computing amount, thereby reducing computing time. In addition, no certificate is introduced in computing the public key, ensuring that no certificate is disclosed. Computing the private key according to the public key can enable the public key and the private key to restrict each other and avoid a public key replacement attack.
