This paper proposed a variant of BD protocol , which is fully authenticated by a proven-secure ID-based signature scheme. T he protocol can res ist the impersonation attack, and other security attributes are also satisfied. Compared with Choi et al and Du et al schemes, the proposed one is mor e efficient and applicable for dynamic groups.展开更多
