Lattice-based ring signcryption for consortium blockchain

Abstract

Ring signcryption with no group administrator satisfies the decentralization and blockchain anonymity. In this article, we construct new lattice-based ring signcryption scheme suitable for consortium blockchain (CB-LRSCS), in which the smart contract controls the process of signcryption and unsigncryption to make the system be fair and reliable. CB-LRSCS can protect the user privacy by reducing the connection between blockchain and user information, and it satisfies the reliability in ethereum environment. CB-LRSCS also has the characteristics of high efficiency, anti-quantum, anti-forgery, confidentiality and unconditional anonymity, and it can be applied in the electronic finance system.
