Abstract: Group signatures allow a group member to sign messages anonymously on behalf of the group. Generally, group signatures have anonymity, traceability and authentication. It has been well applied in practical distributed security communication environments. However, very few schemes can achieve the non-frameability and support dynamic membership management. In this paper, we propose a new group signature scheme. Our scheme achieves the non-frameability without the trusted issuer. Meanwhile, this scheme can support dynamic members join and revocation without incurring other secure threats. Furthermore, in our scheme, the size of group member's private key and the size of group public key are shorter than other schemes while the costs to be kept constant for signing and verifying. In particular, we prove that our scheme achieves anonymity, traceability and non-frameability under the random oracle model.
