We present a new primitive – Append-only Signatures (AOS) – with the property that any party given an AOS signature
Sig
[
M
1
] on message
M
1
can compute
Sig
[
M
1
||
M
2
] for any message
M
2
, where
M
1
||
M
2
is the concatenation of
M
1
and
M
2
. We define the security of AOS, present concrete AOS schemes, and prove their security under standard assumptions. In addition, we find that despite its simple definition, AOS is equivalent to Hierarchical Identity-based Signatures (HIBS) through efficient and security-preserving reductions. Finally, we show direct applications of AOS to problems in network security. Our investigations indicate that AOS is both useful in practical applications and worthy of further study as a cryptographic primitive.
