Abstract

The nice concept of undeniable signatures was presented by Chaum and van Antwerpen. Briefly, an undeniable signature is signature which cannot be verified withoug the help of the signer. They are therefore less personal than ordinary signatures in the sense that a signature cannot be related to the signer without his help. On the other hand, the signer can only repudiate an alleged signature by proving that it is incorrect. Boyar, Chaum, damgard and Pedersen introduce convertible undeniable signatures. In this schemes, release of a single bit string by the signer turns all of his signatures, which were originally undeniable signatures, into ordinary digital signatures. And, S.J.Kim, S.J.Park and D.H.Won propose a new kind of signature scheme, called "nominative signatures:, that is the dual scheme of undeniable signatures. nominative signatures acheieve theses objectives:Only nominee can verify the nominator(signer)' signature and if necessary, only nominee can prove to the third party that the signature is issued to him(her) and is valid. In this paper we present an efficient integrated system of nominative signatures and (convertible) undeniable signatures. i.e. we show how nominative signature scheme can be changed into a (convertible) undeniable signatures.ures.
