AB - The identity‐based signature (IBS) scheme is one of the most promising secure and widely used cryptographic primitives for electronic commerce applications. For example, ID‐based signing in a multi‐party setting, without ever revealing any private and secret information, has received considerable interest in distributed applications such as a global manufacturer. However, there is no practical solution for such a group setting (e.g. more than two parties). Therefore, in this study, the authors present the first distributed identity‐based signing protocol for the global electronic commerce system. Specifically, the authors’ designed protocol allows a group of parties to generate the signature in a decentralised and fair manner. They also prove that their proposed protocol is secure against a malicious adversary under the discrete logarithm and decisional Diffie–Hellman assumptions. Moreover, they implement the protocol using the MIRACL libraries on physical computing devices. Findings from the evaluations demonstrate the practical utility of their proposed protocol, in terms of achieving high level of security within a reasonable time framework (e.g. signing time (including communication latency and waiting delay) takes 311.86 ms for three parties, 558.2 ms for five parties, and 707.21 ms for seven parties, under a single‐thread implementation).
