The aim of the invention is to propose the generation, verification and denial of an undeniable signature which has a size smaller than the currently available undeniable signatures, i.e. less than 80 bits. This aim is achieved by the method to generate an undeniable signature (y<SUB>1</SUB>, . . . , y<SUB>t</SUB>) on a set of data, this method comprising the following steps: transforming the set of data (m) to a sequence of a predetermined number (t) of blocks (x<SUB>1</SUB>, . . . , x<SUB>t</SUB>), these blocks being members of an Abelian group, this transformation being a one way function, applying to each block (x<SUB>i</SUB>) a group homomorphism (f) to obtain a resulting value (y<SUB>i</SUB>), in which the number of elements of the initial group (G) is larger than the number of elements (d) of the destination group (H). |
