We show that the signer can abuse the disavowal protocol in the Jakobsson-Sako-Impagliazzo designated-verifier signature scheme. In addition, we identify a new security property-non-delegatability-that is essential for designated-verifier signatures, and show that several previously proposed designated-verifier schemes are delegatable. We give a rigorous formalisation of the security for designated-verifier signature schemes, and propose a new and efficient designated-verifier signature scheme that is provably unforgeable under a tight reduction to the Decisional Diffie-Hellman problem in the non-programmable random oracle model, and non-delegatable under a loose reduction in the programmable random oracle model. As a direct corollary, we also get a new efficient conventional signature scheme that is provably unforgeable under a tight reduction to the Decisional Diffie-Hellman problem in the non-programmable random oracle plus common reference string model. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
