Abstract: A new enhanced conjugate signature scheme (ECSS) is proposed. Based on the simple conjugate signature scheme
(SCSS) and conjugate signature scheme (CSS), the enhanced conjugate signature scheme is brought forward utilizing the
randomization factor b and the interchangeaility of the group operation between the elements in the left subgroup and the
right subgroup of a braid group. Analysis shows that the new scheme solves the k-CSP vulnerability of SCSS and has a
significant reduction on operations and the communication bandwidth compared with the CSS scheme.

Key words: braid group, signature, k-CSP problem
