Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The user device includes: a recording unit which stores system parameters as respective parameters given in advance, a disclosure public key, a user public key, a user private key, a member certificate, and an attribute certificate; an input/output unit which receives input of the document from the user and an attribute the user intends to disclose; a cryptograph generating module which generates a cryptograph based on the inputted document, the attribute to be disclosed, and each of the parameters; a signature text generating module which generates a zero-knowledge signature text from the generated cryptograph; and a signature output module which outputs the cryptograph and the zero-knowledge signature text as the signature data. The user public key and the attribute certificate are generated by using a same power.
