I spent all day trying to figure ring signature schemes out but apparently I wasted time.
I read the original ring signature paper (Rivest's How to leak a secret).
I'm having numerous problems. Let's just say that a nice and simple example would make everything clear.
I'm talking about something like this example for RSA.
The problem is that no one provides this. I read 12 papers and… nothing. I would like to have an example with small numbers. Is this even possible? Could you provide such a “toy” example?
If I can be more specific: my problem with the original paper is step 4:
solve for…
I have no idea how to solve an equation where on the left side I have the encryption (known key) of an unknown value and a value on the right side.
