Abstract

This paper presents a concrete democratic group signature scheme which holds (t, n)-threshold traceability. In the scheme, the capability of tracing the actual signer is distributed among n group members. It gives a valid democratic group signature such that any subset with more than t members can jointly reconstruct a secret and reveal the identity of the signer. Any active adversary cannot do this even if he can corrupt up to t − 1 group members.
