In Crypto 2021, Yuen et al. proposed a new type of ring signature scheme called DualRing. However, it lacks forward security. The security of DualRing cannot be guaranteed if the signer's secret key is compromised. In this work, we introduce forward-secure DualRing. The singer can periodically update his secret key using our proposed ``split-and-combine" method to mitigate the security risks caused by the leakage of secret keys. We present a practical scheme based on the discrete logarithm assumption. We show a detailed evaluation to validate its practicality.
