Abstract
A lot of attention has been drawn to ensuring a secure communication in an ad hoc network environment. It is important to anonymously send and receive sensitive data from secure sources. Digital signature is one of the powerful ways of ensuring integrity, privacy, confidentiality and nonrepudiation in terms of signing messages. A technique from RSA is employed to propose a new digital signature to be used in wireless networks. This concept also ensures both source and location anonymity. Adversaries will find it difficult to identify the source of a message and exactly where the message is being sent to. With regard to a zone, it will not be possible to identify who sends a message and also who receives it within the group in the zone. It is believed that the signature is light weight and can easily be generated by any of the nodes in the zone. In the context of using the scheme without wireless network, individual uses alternative steps for signing sensitive documents by classifying data according to their sensitivity such as classified, secret or top secret data. This scheme also generates group signatures with multiple public keys which correspond to the group members instead of one public key for each group which is implemented in most other group signature schemes.
