Abstract :
The digital signature is an ideal mechanism for authenticating with computer-generated messages. Recently, as enhanced network services have developed, the importance of a high-speed digital signature has become apparent. Previously, the best secure scheme of knowing digital signature systems has been RSA. However, this scheme has a problem in that the processing speed for generating signature messages is slow. A high-speed digital signature scheme is proposed to solve these problems. The proposed scheme has the security level even with the difficulty of factoring in large numbers. This scheme is based on a congruent polynomial of low degree to high processing speed. A random number is used in the generation of the signature, and inequality is used in verification. This scheme is compared with the RSA scheme to evaluate its performance
