Abstract

In Attribute-Based Signatures (ABS; first defined by Maji, Prabhakaran and Rosulek, CT-RSA 2011) an authority can generate multiple signing keys, where each key is associated with an attribute x. Messages are signed with respect to a constraint f, such that a key for x can sign messages respective to f only if \(f(x) = 0\). The security requirements are unforgeability and key privacy (signatures should not expose the specific signing key used). In (single-hop) Homomorphic Signatures (HS; first defined by Boneh and Freeman, PKC 2011), given a signature for a data-set x, one can evaluate a signature for the pair (f(x), f), for functions f. In context-hiding HS, evaluated signatures do not reveal information about the original (pre-evaluated) signatures.
In this work we start by showing that these two notions are in fact equivalent. The first implication of this equivalence is a new lattice-based ABS scheme for polynomial-depth circuits, based on the HS construction of Gorbunov, Vaikuntanathan and Wichs (GVW; STOC 2015).
We then construct a new ABS candidate from a worst case lattice assumption (\(\mathrm {SIS}\)), with different parameters. Using our equivalence again, now in the opposite direction, our new ABS implies a new lattice-based HS scheme with different parameter trade-off, compared to the aforementioned GVW.

The original definition of ABS [MPR11] (PBS [BF14]) considers an additional message space \(\mathcal{M}\), where messages \(m \in \mathcal{M}\) are signed respective to an attribute (a policy). The two definitions are equivalent since m can always be encoded into the signed attribute (policy).
