SPRINGERBRIEFS IN COMPUTER SCIENCE HOMOMORPHI...

Homomorphic signature schemes are an important primitive for many applications and since their
introduction numerous solutions have been presented. Thus  in this work we provide the first
exhaustive  complete  and up-to-date survey about the state of the art of homomorphic signature
schemes. First  the general framework where homomorphic signatures are defined is described and
it is shown how the currently available types of homomorphic signatures can then be derived
from such a framework. In addition  this work also presents a description of each of the
schemes presented so far together with the properties it provides. Furthermore  three use cases
electronic voting  smart grids  and electronic health records  where homomorphic signature
schemes can be employed are described. For each of these applications the requirements that a
homomorphic signature scheme should fulfill are defined and the suitable schemes already
available are listed. This also highlights the shortcomings of current solutions. Thus  this
work concludes with several ideas for future research in the direction of homomorphic signature
schemes.
