Abstract

Certificate-based signature (CBS) scheme preserves advantages of certificate-based encryption, such as implicit certification and no private key escrow problem. In this paper, we propose a new short and efficient CBS scheme in the random oracle model based on the Schnorr signature scheme. The short signature length and efficient computation make it particularly useful in power and bandwidth limited environment. In addition, we present the new application of CBS scheme to the Single Sign-On(SSO) problem in the cloud computing environment, which allows users to sign on only once and have their identities automatically verified by each application or service they want to access. Based on our new CBS scheme construction, the new SSO solution is much more efficient than the one based on proxy signature scheme.
