Fatty M. Salem . Undeniable Organizational Signature Scheme without a Trusted Party. International Journal of Applied Information Systems. 12, 19 ( February 2019), 9-15. DOI=10.5120/ijais2019451787
Organizational signature is a new kind of digital signature introduced to facilitate and guarantee legitimacy of transactions among organizations. It allows employee in the organization to sign messages through his affiliation not only through his personal identity. As non-repudiation is basic characteristic for digital signature, this paper presents an undeniable organizational signature scheme to guarantee undeniability of both the employee and organization. Moreover, in the proposed scheme, the collaboration between the employee and organization to generate the digital signature can be securely accomplished without need for a trusted third party. The proposed signature scheme is based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) as ECC requires smaller keys and has a low computational cost in comparison of non-ECC cryptography to provide equivalent security. Moreover, the security of the proposed scheme has been proved.
