In 2002, Johnson et al. posed an open problem at the Cryptographers' Track of the RSA Conference: how to construct a secure homomorphic signature on a semigroup, rather than on a group. In this paper, we introduce, for the first time, a semigroup-homomorphic signature scheme. Under certain conditions, we prove that the security of this scheme is based on the hardness of the Short Integer Solution (SIS) problem and is tightly secure. Furthermore, we extend it to a linear semigroup-homomorphic signature scheme over lattices, and this scheme can also ensure privacy.
