Digital and Privacy-Preserving Signatures

 

Digital signatures are a basic cryptographic building block that ensures authenticity (who signed) and integrity (what is signed) of messages. 
In this seminar, we will learn about different types of digital signatures including not only standard RSA and ECDSA signature schemes but also recent schemes secure against quantum adversaries.

We will also take a look at signature schemes that relax the authenticity and integrity properties to increase the privacy of users and/or message like e.g.:
- ring signatures used in the Monero cryptocurrency, 
- pseudonymous signatures used in the German eID, and 
- blind signatures used in e-Cash.

Each week we will discuss papers which will be presented by assigned students. 
All students are required to read the papers carefully and prepare a list of questions for discussion.

The seminar will be held in English.
