### Paper: Short Signatures Without Random Oracles

Authors: Dan Boneh Xavier Boyen URL: http://eprint.iacr.org/2004/171 Search ePrint Search Google We describe a short signature scheme which is existentially unforgeable under a chosen message attack without using random oracles. The security of our scheme depends on a new complexity assumption we call the {\em Strong Diffie-Hellman} assumption. This assumption has similar properties to the Strong RSA assumption, hence the name. Strong RSA was previously used to construct signature schemes without random oracles. However, signatures generated by our scheme are much shorter and simpler than signatures from schemes based on Strong RSA. Furthermore, our scheme provides a limited form of message recovery.
