ABSTRACT:
Methods, devices and systems for generating a plurality of public keys from one private key with the same generator of a group are described. A public key cryptosystem is also disclosed for generating a plurality of anonymous public keys all of which relate to the same party used for secure communications. Those anonymous public keys are generated using the same generator from one single private key. With the invention, computation is reduced, memory can be saved and security level can be improved.
