Consecutive Adaptor Signature Scheme: From Two-Party to N-Party Settings
摘要
Adaptor signatures have attracted attention as a tool to address scalability and interoperability issues in blockchain applications. Adaptor signatures can be constructed by extending common digital signature schemes that both authenticate a message and disclose a secret witness to a specific party. In Asiacrypt 2021, Aumayr et al. formulated the two-party adaptor signature as an independent cryptographic primitive. In this study, we extend their adaptor signature formulation to N parties, present its generic construction, and define the security to be satisfied. Then, we present a concrete construction based on Schnorr signatures and discuss the security properties.
