Abstract

We propose an anonymous broadcast authentication (ABA) scheme to simultaneously control massive numbers of devices within practical resources. As a theoretical foundation, we find a barrier to construct an ABA working with a larger number of devices: there is a trilemma between (i) security, (ii) ciphertext length, and (iii) freedom in the target devices selection. For practical use, we propose ABAs with a ciphertext size of \(O(\log N)\) where N is the number of target devices while we impose a certain restriction on (iii). We provide an ABA template and instantiate it into a specific scheme from the learning with errors (LWE) problem. Then, we give estimation of size and timing resources.
