A Policy-Controlled Signature Scheme for end-to-end Secure Communication

In the digitalized society, end-to-end security communication is receiving increasing attention. Issues such as ma-licious sender impersonation and over-privilege communication continue to prevail in end-to-end communication. This paper pro-poses a policy-controlled signature scheme aimed at addressing these concerns through identity verification and permission man-agement, thus establishing a secure mode of communication. The scheme designs policy-controlled signatures with partial policy hiding functionality, employing expressive access structures and garbled Bloom Filter (GBF) to protect the sender's attributes. In comparison to related approaches, this scheme provides benefits in terms of signature computation cost, thereby enhancing the resilience and efficiency of the communication system against attacks.
