In 1999, Harn proposed a multisignature scheme with distinguished signing authorities. In Harn¡¦s scheme, a malice member easily confuses the signing authorities since individual signatures and multisignatures both generated on the whole document cannot be used as evidence to distinguish the signing authorities. Moreover, Harn¡¦s scheme is also not secure against Li et al.¡¦s attack [4]. To provide evidence and remove Li et al.¡¦s attack, a new multisignature scheme with distinguished signing authorities is proposed in this article.

Keywords: digital signature, multisignature, group-oriented signature scheme, cryptography, security
