Abstract

Proxy signature is an active research area in cryptography. In order to save the running time and the size of the signature, recently a provable secure proxy signature scheme without bilinear pairings has been proposed which is based on elliptic curve discrete log problem (ECDLP). In this paper, we point out some forgery attacks and security issues on this scheme. Furthermore, we also improve the scheme to make it secure against these forgeries. Our scheme is as efficient as previous proposed scheme.
