Abstract

There are some classic structured multi-signature programs, such as Burmester’s, Harn’s and Lin’s schemes that can not resist inside attack and outside attack. In this paper, we briefly review Burmester’s program and relate safety analysis, Burmester’s scheme vulnerable to forgery attack. Then we propose a structured multi-signature scheme against forgery attack. In the new scheme, we increase the signature parameter verification to improve security.
