Secure and Efficient Multi-Signature Schemes for Fabric: An Enterprise Blockchain Platform
Yue Xiao, Peng Zhang, Yuhong Liu
Abstract
Digital signature is a major component of transactions on Blockchain platforms, especially in enterprise Blockchain platforms, where multiple signatures from a set of peers need to be produced to endorse a transaction. However, such process is often complex and time-consuming. Multi-signature, which can improve transaction efficiency by having a set of signers cooperate to produce a joint signature, has attracted extensive attentions. In this work, we propose two multi-signature schemes, GMS and AGMS, which are proved to be more secure and efficient than state-of-the-art multi-signature schemes. Besides, we implement the proposed schemes in a real Enterprise Blockchain platform, Fabric. Experiment results show that the proposed AGMS scheme helps achieve the goal of high transaction efficiency, low storage complexity, as well as high robustness against rogue-key attacks and $k$ -sum problem attacks.
