Summary :

Multisignature scheme realizes that plural users generate the signature on a message, and that the signature is verified. Various studies on multisignature have been proposed. They are classified into two types: RSA-based multisignature, and discrete logarithm problem (DLP) based multisignature, all of which assume that a message is fixed beforehand. In a sense, these schemes do not have a feature of message flexibility. Furthermore all schemes which satisfy with order verifiability designate order of signers beforehand. Therefore these protocols have a feature of order verifiability but not order flexibility. For a practical purpose of circulating messages soundly through Internet, a multisignature scheme with message flexibility, order flexibility and order verifiability should be required. However, unfortunately, all previous multisignature do not realize these features. In this paper, we propose a general model of multisignature schemes with flexibility and verifiability. We also present two practical schemes based on DLP based message recover signature and RSA signature, respectively.
