Relationship between special RSA modulus and quadratic residue in CL (Camenisch-Lysyanskaya) signature I'm studying the CL(Camenisch-Lysyanskaya) signature (A signature scheme with efficient protocol proposed by Camenisch-Lysyanskaya).

However, I cannot understand the relationship between special RSA modulus and quadratic residue.  



What is the relationship between Special RSA modulus and quadratic residue?

and please recommend the references for special RSA modulus.
The standard RSA ($c=m^{e}$ $mod(n)$) is not semantically secure, since it reveals one bit information about the message. This information is jacobi symbol of the message. You can find many resources about jacobi symbol but basically it states that a value is in $QR_n$ or not. In CL signature, we can handle with this situation easilly, since we determine the base values for exponentiation operations. If we choose the base values from $QR_n$, any exponentiation operation using them outputs another value from $QR_n$. Thus, there is no revealed information. Ofcourse, it comes with a disadvantage that any output of exponentiation is in $QR_n$ we decrase the number of possible outputs that we can get.
