Group signatures with time-bound keys revisited: a new model, an efficient construction, and its implementation

K Emura, T Hayashi, A Ishida - IEEE Transactions on …, 2017 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Chu et al.(ASIACCS 2012) proposed group signature with time-bound keys (GS-TBK),
where each signing key is associated with expiry time τ. In addition, to prove membership of
the group, a signer needs to prove that the expiry time has not passed, ie, t<; τ, where t is the
current time. A signer whose expiry time has passed is automatically revoked, and this
revocation is called natural revocation. Signers can be revoked simultaneously before their
expiry times if the credential is compromised. This revocation is called premature revocation …
