The XTR public key system has advantage of short key length and fast computing speed. So, the XTR is used usefully in complicated operation. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm of double exponentiation operation and a proxy signature protocol based on the XTR. The double exponentiation operation should be executed to apply XTR for the proxy signature protocol. But this algorithm is inappropriate, because two secret key has to be blown in existent operation algorithm. New algorithm enable double exponentiation operation with proxy signer's secret key and public information. And the XTR is used to generation and verification of proxy at proxy signature protocol. Therefore proxy signature based on the XTR has basic advantage of the XTR. These advantage can be used in internet as well as mobile.

Electronic cash system based on anonymous coins have been invented by David Chaum. However, von Solms and Naccache discovered that such anonymous coins also very well suited to support criminals in Blacoailing. In this paper, we suggest a method that a client informs a bank of the information about blackmailing attack by using Schnorr identification protocol of XTR version at the stage of identification, whenever he is blackmailed. In general, blackmailing is the most serious among the various drawbacks of electronic cash system. Especially, blackmiling to be done when the client is kidnapped brings a fatal result to electronic cash system. But if the Schnorr identification protocol of XTR version is used, we can efficiently defeat blackmailing without assumption required in the existing method to defeat blackmailing.
