【 摘 要 】

Message authentication is crucial because it encourages participants to accept countermeasures and further transmit messages to legitimate users in a network while maintaining the legitimacy of the identity of network members. An unauthorized user cannot transmit false messages to a given network. Although traditional public key cryptography is suitable for message authentication, it is also easy to manage and generate keys, and, with the expansion of an entire network, the system needs a lot of computing power, which creates additional risks to network security. A more effective method, such as ring signature, can realize this function and guarantee more security. In this paper, we propose an anti-quantum ring signature scheme based on lattice, functionality analysis, and performance evaluation to demonstrate that this scheme supports unconditional anonymity and unforgeability. After efficiency analysis, our scheme proved more effective than the existing ring signature schemes in processing signature generation and verification. The proposed scheme was applied to VANETs that support strong security and unconditional anonymity to vehicles.
