A new approach to delegate signing rights to proxy signers using isogeny-based cryptography
<|reference_start|>A new approach to delegate signing rights to proxy signers using isogeny-based cryptography: E-governance is a two-way protocol through which one can use government services, share data and request information. It refers to the use of communication and information technologies to provide government services to public in an efficient and fast manner. In addition, any document submitted to the e-Government system must be authenticated by a government officer using a digital signature scheme. In the context of digital signatures, the proxy signature is an important cryptographic primitive that allows the original signer to delegate signing authority to another signer (proxy signer). The proxy signature has a number of important applications in the e-government system. There are now a large amount of proxy signature schemes. The security of most of them relies on the following hard problems: the discrete logarithm problem and the factorization of integers problem. However, a large-scale quantum computer can solve them in polynomial time due to Shor's algorithm. As a consequence, there is a need for a quantum computer-resistant proxy signature to secure e-governance system from quantum adversaries. In this work, we propose the first post-quantum isogeny based proxy signature scheme CSI-PS (commutative supersingular isogeny proxy signature). Our construction is proven to be uf-cma secure under the hardness of the group action inverse problem (GAIP) based on isogeny.<|reference_end|>
