Abstract

Chameleon signatures are based on well    established hash-and-sign paradigm, where a chameleon hash function is used to compute the cryptographic message digest, and becomes an important building block. The  chameleon hash function is a trapdoor one-way hash  function with some special properties, and plays an    important role in constructing chameleon signature. In the paper, we propose a new chameleon hash scheme which enjoys some advantages of the previous schemes:      collision-resistant, semantic security, and key-exposure -freeness. At the same time, we show that the recipient’s trapdoor information will never be compromised under the assumption of q-SDH+CDH problem which is a new   security assumption
