Abstract
A ring-signature scheme is adapted so that at least one of the variability parameter values used is an identity trace of the anonymous signatory, determined as a function of anonymity withdrawal data stored and held secret by an anonymity withdrawal entity in connection with an identification of the anonymous signatory. This provides a subsequent controlled capacity of withdrawing the anonymity of the signatory, either by an authority, or by the signatory himself.
