As one of the authors of the above paper, I have an obvious interest in
this thread. =)
Later I discovered this paper [2] which appears to be an improvement
on that one in terms of performance (see Table 1 in [2]) while still
having a tight reduction to the Computational Diffie-Hellman (CDH)
problem. Strangely, this paper [2] doesn't appear to have been
published anywhere except as an eprint on eprint.iacr.org. I wonder
why not. Is there something wrong with it?
While I don't know of any attack, the proof of security does not appear to
be correct.
On the other hand, there is one published scheme that gives a slight
improvement to our paper (it has fewer on-line computations): it is a
paper by Chevallier-Mames in Crypto 2005 titled "An Efficient CDH-Based
Signature Scheme with a Tight Security Reduction".
