Hi Antonio,

Can you briefly expand on the advantages of BLS, especially the aggregation of chains [citing also a reference]?

here a couple of references

http://theory.stanford.edu/~dfreeman/cs259c-f11/finalpapers/aggregatesigs.pdf
https://crypto.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/aggsurvey.pdf

AFAIU if the signature used is BLS  there is not need to calculate the certificate chain since any “node” involved can "fully proof" the “chain” .

  How well are these advantages aligned with IETF needs?  At the moment, I’m a little skeptical that the benefits (smaller chains?) outweigh the risks (relying on pairing-groups), but I could be wrong.

are  you aware of any risk of using BLS. I am not so far….


Just to be clear, although BLS uses pairing-groups, it does not have any escrow worries (unlike IBE etc.), or am I badly mistaken?

Is BLS standardized elsewhere (ISO, IEEE 1363*, etc.)?

In any event, you could prepare an individual I-D to propose BLS to IETF, although I do not how much it would be accepted.

if there is any interest I would be happy to take a stub and write a draft. Is there anyone interested to join the effort?

regards

antonio


Pairing-groups have been proposed for in use IETF before:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-budronimccusker-milagrotls/
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc6508/
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc6509/

Best regards,

Dan

The IETF does play an important role in the process, but most people (at least in the US) won't consider anything in crypto 'standardized' unless it involves NIST.

hi Paul,

thanks. Isn’t where this group can help though (namely standardization) ?

BLS signatures would be nice for many reasons. The lack of standardized pairing groups makes it a little difficult from a deployability perspective, I think.
