Unique Ring Signatures to sign messages anonymously

Unique Ring Signatures (URS)

URS can be used to sign messages anonymously (among a group of known users). That is a user can sign a message, hiding among a group of known/registered users, that prevents the verifier from revealing the signer's identity other than knowing that it is in the set of registered users. The size of the set of registered users is flexible. Increasing this number slows down signing and verifying linearly.
