Multi-proxy signature is a variant of proxy signature, which allows that a delegator (original signer) may delegate his signing rights to many proxy signers. Comparing with proxy signatures, multi-proxy signatures can effectively prevent that some of proxy signers abuse signing rights. Also, with the rapid development of identity-based cryptography, identity-based multi-proxy signature (IBMPS) schemes have been proposed. Comparing with proxy signature based on public key cryptography, IBMPS can simplify key management and be used for more applications. Presently, many identity-based multi-proxy signature schemes have been proposed, but most of them are constructed in the random oracle model. Also, the existing security model for identity-based multi-proxy signature is not enough complete according to the Boldyreva et al.'s work. In this paper, we present a framework for IBMPS on n + 1 users (n is the number of proxy signers participating in signing), and show a detailed security model for IBMPS. Under our framework, we present an identity-based multi-proxy signature scheme in the standard model. Comparing with other identity-based multi-proxy signature schemes, the proposed scheme has more complete security.
