Concepts inAttribute-based signatures without pairings via the fiat-shamir paradigm

Random oracle

In cryptography, a random oracle is an oracle that responds to every query with a (truly) random response chosen uniformly from its output domain, except that for any specific query, it responds the same way every time it receives that query. Put another way, a random oracle is a mathematical function mapping every possible query to a random response from its output domain.  more from Wikipedia

Digital signature

A digital signature or digital signature scheme is a mathematical scheme for demonstrating the authenticity of a digital message or document. A valid digital signature gives a recipient reason to believe that the message was created by a known sender, and that it was not altered in transit. Digital signatures are commonly used for software distribution, financial transactions, and in other cases where it is important to detect forgery or tampering.  more from Wikipedia

Boolean satisfiability problem

In computer science, satisfiability (often written in all capitals or abbreviated SAT) is the problem of determining if the variables of a given Boolean formula can be assigned in such a way as to make the formula evaluate to TRUE. Equally important is to determine whether no such assignments exist, which would imply that the function expressed by the formula is identically FALSE for all possible variable assignments.  more from Wikipedia

Paradigm

In science, paradigm describes distinct concepts or thought patterns in any scientific discipline or other epistemological context.  more from Wikipedia
