Abstract: To solve the privacy leakage and identity island problems in cross-chain interaction, we propose an anti-quantum cross-chain identity authentication approach based on dynamic group signature (DGS-AQCCIDAA) for smart education. The relay-based cross-chain model promotes interconnection in heterogeneous consortium blockchains. DGS is used as the endorsement strategy for cross-chain identity authentication. Our approach can ensure quantum security under the learning with error (LWE) and inhomogeneous small integer solution (ISIS) assumptions, and it uses non-interactive zero-knowledge proof (NIZKP) to protect user identity privacy. Our scheme has low calculation overhead and provides anonymous cross-chain identity authentication in the smart education system.
