• Opis:
  Recently, blockchain technology has garnered support. However, an attenuating factor to its global adoption in certain use cases is privacy-preservation owing to its inherent transparency. A widely explored cryptographic option to address this challenge has been ring signature which aside its privacy guarantee must be double spending resistant. In this paper, we identify and prove a catastrophic flaw for double-spending attack in a Lightweight Ring Signature scheme and proceed to construct a new, fortified commitment scheme using the signer’s entire private key. Subsequently, we compute a stronger key image to yield a double-spending-resistant signature scheme solidly backed by formal proof. Inherent in our solution is a novel, zero-knowledge-based, secured and cost-effective smart contract for public key aggregation. We test our solution on a private blockchain as well as Kovan testnet along with performance analysis attesting to efficiency and usability and make the code publicly available on GitHub.
