Abstract
Group signatures allow users to anonymously sign messages in the name of a group. Membership revocation has always been a critical issue in such systems. In 2004, Boneh and Shacham formalized the concept of group signatures with verifier-local revocation where revocation messages are only sent to signature verifiers (as opposed to both signers and verifiers). This paper presents an efficient {verifier-local revocation group signature} (VLR-GS) providing backward unlinkability (i.e. previously issued signatures remain anonymous even after the signer's revocation) with a security proof in the standard model (i.e. without resorting to the random oracle heuristic).
