Delegation of rights is a common practice in the real world. We present two identity-based threshold proxy signature schemes, which allow an original signer to delegate her signing capability to a group of n proxy signers, and it requires a consensus of t or more proxy signers in order to generate a valid signature. In addition to identity-based scheme, privacy protection for proxy singers and security assurance are two distinct features of this work. Our first scheme provides partial privacy protection to proxy signers such that all signers' identities are revealed, whereas none of those t participating signers is specified. On the other hand, all proxy signers remain anonymous in the second scheme. This provides a full privacy protection to all proxy signers; however, each valid signature contains a tag that allows one to trace all the participating proxy signers. Both our proposed schemes are secure against unforgeability under chosen message attack, and satisfy many other necessary conditions for proxy signature.

In the papers (Kaminskas, 1973; Kaminskas and Nemura, 1975) the stopping rule of recursive least squares (RLS) is worked out using the length of the confidence interval for the respective current meaning of the true output signal of a linear dynamic system. The aim of the given paper is the development of techniques for calculating threshold intervals of respective criteria, used in such a stopping rule. In this connection adaptive threshold intervals based on the Cramer-Rao lower bound according to Pupeikis (1995) are proposed here, too. The results of numerical simulation by IBM PC/AT are given.

In the papers (Kaminskas, 1972; Kaminskas and Nemura, 1975; Yin, 1989) the stopping rules of recursive least squares (RLS) are worked out using the ellipsoidal confidence region for the respective parameter vector of a linear dynamic system. The aim of the given paper is the development of the technique for calculating threshold intervals of respective criterions, used in a stopping rule, which are presented in Kaminskas (1972). In this connection adaptive threshold intervals based on the Cramer-Rao lower bound are proposed here. The results of numerical simulation by IBM PC/AT are given.
