内容简介：Digital signatures have been one of the most prominent cryptographic primitives. In this talk, I will describe the essential issues on digital signatures, namely how the security proofs and reductions work. In particular, I will go through one of the most fundamental issues in digital signatures, namely the construction of unique digital signatures. The impossibility of constructing unique digital signatures with tight reductions has been studied in the past 20 years. In this talk, I will demonstrate how to pass this impossibility and show how to build a practical scheme. Finally, I will conclude with some future research direction.
