Popis: Accountable ring signature (ARS), introduced by Xu and Yung (CARDIS 2004), combines many useful properties of ring and group signatures. In particular, the signer in an ARS scheme has the flexibility of choosing an ad hoc group of users, and signing on their behalf (like a ring signature). Furthermore, the signer can designate an opener who may later reveal his identity, if required (like a group signature). In 2015, Bootle et al. (ESORICS 2015) formalized the notion and gave an efficient construction for ARS with signature-size logarithmic in the size of the ring. Their scheme is proven to be secure in the random oracle model. Recently, Russell et al. (ESORICS 2016) gave a construction with constant signature-size that is secure in the standard model. Their scheme is based on q-type assumptions (q-SDH).
