摘要：To deal with the key-exposure problem in signature systems, a new framework named parallel key-insulated signature (PKIS) was introduced, and a concrete PKIS scheme was proposed. Compared with traditional key-insulated signature (KIS) schemes, the proposed PKIS scheme allows a frequent updating for temporary secret keys without increasing the risk of helper key-exposure. Moreover, the proposed PKIS scheme does not collapse even if some (not all) of the helper keys and some of the temporary secret keys are simultaneously exposed. As a result, the security of the PKIS scheme is greatly enhanced, and the damage caused by key-exposure is successfully minimized.
