Abstract
In 2003, Katz and Wang proposed the claw-free trapdoor full domain hash (CFT-FDH) which achieves a tight security for FDH signature schemes using the bit selector technique. However, it is noted that the CFT-FDH is not backward compatible with its original FDH counterpart, since the selected bit is hashed with the message, modifying the structure of the original signature. In this paper, we take a step further to propose a general framework that is able to achieve backward compatibility while maintaining the tight reduction of FDH signatures using the properties of trapdoor samplable relations and also Katz-Wang’s bit selector technique.

Notes
- 1.
It is worth mentioning that the co-CDH problem is a Type-3 Pairing counterpart to the CDH problem which is based on the Type-1 Pairing [11].
- 2.
We denote this hard problem as the co-DBDH problem as the Type-3 Pairing version of the DBDH problem, to distinguish between the DBDH problem which is based on the Type-1 Pairing. It is noted that in a work by Vercauteren [41], the co-DBDH problem itself is denoted as the DBDH problem, which covers the specification of both Type-1 and Type-3 pairings.
- 3.
The signer may enclose the bit r alongside \(\sigma \) to avoid confusion during verification where two different signatures for a message (i.e. \(r \in \{0,1\}\)) may exist at once, as stated in [31].
- 4.
Different from Katz-Wang’s work in [31], \(\mathcal {A}\) is not able to query for the value of r considering it is not a portion of the hash input.
