Secure and Efficient Multi-proxy Signature Scheme in the Standard Model

Multi-proxy signature is a variant of proxy signature, which allows that a delegator may delegate his signing rights to many proxy signers. Compared with proxy signature, multi-proxy signature can effectively prevent that some of proxy signers abuse signing rights. In this paper, we propose an efficient multi-proxy signature scheme in the standard model, which is based on the Waters' signature scheme. Compared with other multi-proxy signature schemes in the standard model, the proposed scheme further reduces the amount of computations and communications.
