  • Patent number: 8645690
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of verifying key validity and a server for performing the method. The method is configured such that a service provision server verifies key validity in an anonymous service for providing local linkability. The service provision server receives a revocation list. A local revocation list is generated using the received revocation list and a secret key. A virtual index of a service user required to verify key validity is calculated. Whether a key of the service user is valid is verified, based on whether the virtual index is included in the local revocation list.

  • Patent number: 8499158
    Abstract: There is provided an anonymous service method of providing local linkability. The anonymous service method providing local linkability according to exemplary embodiments of the invention, an anonymous authentication operation based on a short group signature is performed, for which the concept of a local linkability is introduced to secure linkability within the same service domain. Namely, in the interior of a service provider, a virtual index having a fixed value is calculated for each service user, and in this case, although a plurality of service providers collude with each other, they cannot calculate a virtual index having the same value, whereby the linkability can be secured within the same service domain but not within the interiors of different service domains.
