Security Arguments for a Class of ID-Based Signatures

Abstract

Provable security based on complexity theory provides an efficient way for providing the convincing evidences of security. In this paper, we present a definition of generic ID-based signature schemes by extending the definition of generic signature schemes, and prove the Forking lemma for that. Then we propose a new and efficient ID-based signature scheme built upon bilinear maps. We prove its security under k-CAA computational assumption in the random oracle model.
