Is there any link between group signature and multi-signature

Are both of these concepts related in someway. Can a group signature scheme be transformed into a multi-signature scheme?

Althogh the two signatures can be used as the authentication method, the security requirements between group signatures and multi-signature are different. The secure properties of the group signatures scheme are usually anonymity, traceability and non-frameability.

  1. Anonymity can keep one's identity anonymous;
  2. Traceability can make sure that illegal group memebers should be traced and revealed by a authority entity who owns the tracing/open key;
  3. Non-frameability means nobody, except itself, can generate a valid signature for anyone else.

What's more, the construction of a group signature is more complicated than that of a multi-signature. If you say "Can a multi-signature scheme be transformed into a group signatures scheme?", the answer will be 'Yes'. That's because a group signatures always is made up of some signatrue scheme (such as BLS, BBS, PS, CL, etc,. signatrue schemes), a commitment scheme and a zero knowledge proof/argument of knowledge. Thus, the multi-signature also can be used for constructing a group signatures scheme.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
