Abstract
Blockchain technology has been widely applied in numerous industries with its decentralization, verifiability, distributivity, and immutability. However, the identity privacy security of blockchain users is facing serious threats because of the openness of traditional blockchain transaction information. Moreover, numerous traditional cryptographic algorithms used by blockchain transaction networks are difficult to attack quantum computing. In this paper, we propose a new lattice-based blind ring signature scheme in allusion to completely anonymous blockchain transaction systems. There into, the blind ring signature can implement the complete anonymity of user identity privacy in blockchain transactions. Meanwhile, lattice cryptography can availably resist quantum computing attacks. Firstly, the proposed signature scheme has strong computational security based on the small integer solution (SIS) problem and a high sampling success rate by utilizing the techniques of rejection sampling from bimodal Gaussian distribution. Secondly, the proposed signature scheme can satisfy the correctness and security under the random oracle model, including anonymity, blindness, and one-more unforgeability. Thirdly, we construct a blockchain transaction system based on the proposed blind ring signature algorithm, which realizes the completely anonymous and antiquantum computing security of the blockchain users’ identity privacy. Finally, the performance evaluation results show that our proposed blind ring signature scheme has lower latency, smaller key size, and signature size than other similar schemes.
