Ring Signature

A ring signature is a digital signature scheme allowing a member of a group (ring) to sign a message on behalf of the group without revealing the signer's identity. Proposed by Rivest, Shamir, and Tauman in 2001, ring signatures provide signer anonymity while still proving that the signature comes from one member of a specified set. This cryptographic primitive is widely used in privacy-preserving applications, whistleblowing systems, and anonymous messaging platforms.
