Abstract: Abstract:  Democratic group signature (DGS) is a group-oriented
primitive with great flexibilities, i.e., no group manager, anonymity, and
traceability. In a DGS scheme with (t, n)-threshold traceability, any subset
of not less than t members can jointly reveal the identity of the signer
while preserving security even in the presence of an active adversary can
corrupt up to t-1 group members. This paper proposes an efficient DGS scheme.
We use publicly verifiable secret sharing (PVSS) to distribute the trapdoor
via which the real signer is revealed. The computation cost and
communication overhead of our DGS signatures are greatly reduced, compared
with the existing work. For example, the size of the resulting signature
contains only 2n+1 elements of  Zq, except the PVSS output.
