Abstract:

The notion of identity-based trapdoor mercurial commitment incorporates the advantages of both identity-based trapdoor commitment and trapdoor mercurial commitment. So far, the existing identity-based trapdoor mercurial commitment schemes are based on the strong Diffie-Hellman assumption or computational Diffie-Hellman assumption. One-way function existence is one of the fundamental assumptions in the cryptography. In this paper, we first propose a general construction for identity-based trapdoor mercurial commitment based on the one-way function. Meanwhile, we give a concrete instantiation based on the Boneh-Boyen signature scheme.

Key words: trapdoor mercurial commitment, identity-based cryptosystems, one-way functions
