KEY VALIDITY VERIFYING METHOD AND SEVER FOR PERFORMING THE SAME

摘要

PURPOSE: A method for verifying key validity and a sever for performing the same are provided to reduce necessary operation times for verifying key validity in a signature process or a signature verification process by providing various services based on anonymous authentication. CONSTITUTION: An anonymous authentication server(110) revokes an anonymous secret key owned currently(S810). The anonymous authentication server is opened by generating a revocation list(S820). A service providing server(120) generates a LRL(Local Revocation List) by using a revocation list and its own LL secret key(S830). The service providing server calculates a virtual index of a service user through the signature of a service user(S840). The service providing server verifies the validity of a key of the service user based on the presence of the virtual index included in the local revocation list(S850).
