The authors present an ID-based group signature which is based on ordi
nary ID-based signature schemes such as Ohta-Okamoto's scheme and Guil
lou-Quisquater's scheme. Thus, the group signature is verified from th
e identities of group members. A signer proves that. by verifiable enc
ryption of his ordinary signature, a group authority can identify him
and, by Schoenmaker's method. he proves that he knows a signature of a
group member.
