Digital signatures are digital credentials, and they implement with various modifications. Some specific digital signature models themselves can offer secrecy for the signer. These types of models are acknowledged as anonymous signatures.

1 i. Group Signature: In this scheme, any component of a group could sign on the message on behalf of the whole group secretly through his/her private key; moreover, any component through the shared group’s public key able to test then legalizes the engendered sign. Here, the sign authentication procedure exposes nothing but the signer’s true uniqueness apart from the association of the group. Every group has its own elected administrator who controls the addition, deletion of members, quarrels, etc. This kind of operation is also needed in the blockchain scheme to build and cancel the group and dynamically attach fresh members or blocks to the group.

2 ii. Ring Signature: As the name suggests, ring signature initiates from the signature derived technique which applies a ring-like structure and attains secrecy through signing by any group factor. Compared to the group signature, the ring signature is unique because, during the ring signature proposal, the signer’s authentic personality could not be naked in the event of a quarrel, as no group manager. For suppose, n numbers of members employed in ring signature have a chance for 1/n probability of an adversary can effectively estimate an actual sender.
