Dynamic Universal Accumulators For Ddh Groups And Their Application To Attribute-Based Anonymous Credential Systems, Man Ho Au, Patrick P. Tsang, Willy Susilo, Yi Mu
Professor Yi Mu
We present the first dynamic universal accumulator that allows (1) the accumulation of elements in a DDH-hard group G and (2) one who knows x such that y = gx has - or has not - been accumulated, where g generates G, to efficiently prove her knowledge of such x in zero knowledge, and hence without revealing, e.g., x or y. We introduce the Attribute-Based Anonymous Credential System, which allows the verifier to authenticate anonymous users according to any access control policy expressible as a formula of possibly negated boolean user attributes. We construct the system from our accumulator.
