PCS, A privacy-preserving certification scheme

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

We present PCS, a privacy-preserving certification mechanism that allows users to conduct anonymous and unlinkable actions. The mechanism is built over an attribute-based signature construction. The proposal is proved secure against forgery and anonymity attacks. A use case on the integration of PCS to enhance the privacy of learners of an e-assessment environment, and some details of the ongoing implementation, are briefly presented.
