Abstract

In cryptography, a ring signature is a type of digital signature, which can be used by any member of a user's group that each have keys. Therefore, a message signed with a ring signature is endorsed by someone in a particular group of people. To enhance the privacy and anonymity of transactions, some advanced signature primitives such as ring signature and multisignatures are widely used. In this chapter, we discuss the ring signatures, one-time signatures, multisignatures, Borromean ring signatures in detail. The detailed working and functionality of these signature primitives are described. ...
