        We present a digital signature scheme based on the computational difficulty of integer
        factorization.
        \par
        The scheme possesses the novel property of being robust against an adaptive chosen-message
        attack: an adversary who receives signatures for messages of his choice (where each message
        may be chosen in a way that depends on the signatures of previously chosen messages) cannot
        later forge the signature of even a single additional message.  This may be somewhat surprising,
        since in the folklore the properties of having forgery being equivalent to factoring and being
        invulnerable to an adaptive chosen-message attack were considered to be contradictory.
        \par
        More generally, we show how to construct a signature scheme with such properties based on 
        the existence of a ``claw-free'' pair of permutations---a potentially weaker assumption than
        the intractibility of integer factorization.
        \par
        The new scheme is potentially practical: signing and verifying signatures are reasonably
        fast, and signatures are compact.
