Abstract

Proactive public key systems where the threshold solutions are further enhanced, are presented by periodic refreshment of the shared function in such a way that the private key is kept unchanged for as long as required, yet breaking of the system requires the attacker to break into several locations in a short period of time. Such solutions are presented for a variety of discrete log based cryptosystems including DSS and Schnorr signatures, ElGamal-like signatures and encryption, and undeniable signatures.
