Efficient and Provably Secure Multi-Recipient Signcryption from Bilinear Pairings

Signcryption is a cryptographic primitive that performs signature and encryption simultaneously, at lower computational costs and communication overheads than the signature-then- encryption approach. In this paper, we propose an efficient multi-recipient signcryption scheme based on the bilinear pairings, which broadcasts a message to multiple users in a secure and authenticated manner. We prove its semantic security and unforgeability under the Gap Diffie-Hellman problem assumption in the random oracle model. The proposed scheme is more efficient than re-signcrypting a message n times using a signcryption scheme in terms of computational costs and communication overheads.

WiBPA:An Efficient Data Integrity Auditing Scheme Without Bilinear Pairings

The security of cloud data has always been a concern.Cloud server provider may maliciously tamper or delete user’s data for their own benefit,so data integrity audit is of great significance to verify whether data is modified or not.Based on the general three-party audit architecture,a dynamic auditing scheme without bilinear pairings is proposed in this paper.It utilizes exponential operation instead of bilinear mapping to verify the validity of evidence.By establishing the mapping relation between logic index and tag index of data block with index transformation table,our scheme can easily support dynamic data operation.By hiding random numbers in the integrity evidence,our scheme can protect users’privacy information.Detailed security analysis shows that our scheme is secure against attacks such as forgery,replaying and substitution.Further experiments demonstrate that our scheme has lower computational overhead.

A new improved ID-based proxy ring signature scheme from bilinear pairings

Ring signature and proxy signature are of vital importance to secure electronic commerce. Recently, the bilinear pairing such as Well pairing or Tate pairing on elliptic curves and hyperelliptic curves is playing an important role in security solutions. Several ID-based signature schemes have been put forward, many of which are based on bilinear pairings. In key management and moderate security demand scenarios, ID-based public key cryptosystem is more preferable than other public key infrastructure based systems. In this paper, an improved ID-based proxy ring signature scheme from bilinear pairings is proposed which combines the advantages of proxy signature and of ring signatures. Our scheme can guarantee the profits of the proxy signer via preventing the original signer form generating the proxy ring signature. Furthermore, bilinear pairings are introduced to minimize the computation overhead and to improve the related performance of our scheme. In contrast with Zhang＇s scheme, our scheme is a computational efficiency improvement for signature verification because the computational cost of bilinear pairings required is reduced from O（n） to O（ 1 ）. In addition, the proxy ring signature presented in this paper can perfectly satisfy all the security requirements of proxy ring signature, i. e. signer-ambiguity, non-forgeability, verification, non-deniability and distinguishability.

A NEW MULTI-PROXY SIGNATURE FROM BILINEAR PAIRING

Proxy signatures are very useful tools when one needs to delegate his/her signing capability to other parties. In this paper,a new multi-proxy signature scheme is proposed. The new scheme is constructed from bilinear pairings using Boneh,Lynn,and Shacham’s (BLS) short signatures. The proxy key for the proxy group is just a short signature on the proxy warrant generated by the original signer. Due to the use of short signatures,our scheme is not only efficient,but also satisfies all the security requirements of the strong proxy signature.

Identity Based Group Key Agreement from Bilinear Pairing

We present a provably secure authenticated tree based key agreement scheme for multicast. There is a wide variety of applications that can benefit from using our scheme, e. g. , pay-Tv, teleconferencing, software updates. Compared with the previous published schemes, our scheme provides group member authentication without introducing additional mechanism. Future, we give the security proof of our scheme under the random oracle model.

New Multisignature Scheme Based on Bilinear Pairings

Two digital multisignature schemes based on bilinear pairings were proposed. One of them is the sequential digital multisignature, and the other is the broadcasting digital multisignature. The scheme has the same security as JI and LIs multisignature scheme, but the new scheme has the lower computation. So the new scheme is the multisignature which has high security and low computation. It has the theory meaning and extensive application under the condition of SmartCard, etc.

A PROVABLY SECURE PROXY SIGNATURE SCHEME FROM BILINEAR PAIRINGS

A proxy signature allows an entity, called original signer, to delegate its signing power to another entity, called proxy signer, to sign messages on its behalf. Proxy signatures have many practical applications and are very important cryptographic protocol. In this paper, we propose an efficient proxy signature scheme from bilinear pairings. We prove it secure in the random oracle model and analyze computation cost of our scheme. Our scheme satisfies all the properties required for proxy signatures.

NEW REMOTE USER AUTHENTICATION SCHEME USING SMART CARD

Because the modified remote user authentication scheme proposed by Shen, Lin and Hwang is insecure, the Shen-Lin-Hwang＇ s scheme is improved and a new secure remote user authentication scheme based on the bi- linear parings is proposed. Moreover, the effectiveness of the new scheme is analyzed, and it is proved that the new scheme can prevent from all kinds of known attack. The one-way hash function is effective in the new scheme. The new scheme is proved that it has high effectiveness and fast convergence speed. Moreover, the ap- plication of the new scheme is easy and operational.

Proxy signature scheme for ID-based original signers and certificate-based proxy signers

To realize delegation between different users in a mixed cryptosystem,a proxy signature scheme for ID-based original signers and certificated-based proxy signers（PSS-ID-CER）is defined.Using the bilinear properties of the pairings and the characters of key generations of certificate-based cryptosystems and ID-based cryptosystems,a construction for such a scheme is also presented.To prove the security of the proposed scheme,a general security model for this scheme under adaptive chosen-PKG,chosen-ID,chosen-delegation,chosen-ProxySigner-public-key,chosen-proxy-key and chosen-message attack is defined.The proposed scheme is provably secure under the random oracle model and the hardness assumption of computational Diffie-Hellman problem.

An efficient certificateless authenticated key agreement protocol for Web client/server setting is proposed, which uses pairings on certain elliptic curves. We show that the newly proposed key agreement protocol is practical and of great efficiency, meanwhile, it satisfies every desired security require ments for key agreement protocols.

Provably Secure General Aggregate Signcryption Scheme in the Random Oracle Model

To reduce the size of certificate chains and the ciphertext size in secure routing protocols, a General Aggregate Signcryption Scheme (GASC) is presented. In GASC, an identity-based signcryption algorithm and an aggregate signature algorithm are combined in a practical and secure manner to form the general aggregate signcryption scheme's schema and concept, and a new secure, efficiently general aggregate signcryption scheme, which allows the aggregation of n distinct signcryptions by n distinct users on n distinct messages, is proposed. First, the correction of the GASC scheme is analyzed. Then, we formally prove the security of GASC in the random oracle models IND-CCA2 and EUF-CMA under the DBDHP assumption and the DLP assumption, respectively. The results show that the GASC scheme is not only secure against any probabilistic polynomial-time IND-GASC-CCA2 and EUF-GASC-CMA adversary in the random oracle models but also efficient in pairing ê computations. In addition, the GASC scheme gives an effective remedy to the key escrow problem, which is an inherent issue in IBC by splitting the private key into two parts, and reduces the communication complexity by eliminating the interaction among the senders (signers) before the signcryption generation.

Provably Secure Certificateless Ring Signcryption Scheme

Ring signcryption enables a user to send a message confidentially and authentically to a specific receiver in an anonymous way.One of the main reasons for the slow adoption of identity-based cryptography is the inherent key escrow problem.In this paper a new certificateless ring signcryption scheme from pairings is presented.It is escrow free in that no KGC is able to decrypt ciphertexts itself.We then formally prove the security of the new scheme in the random oracle model IND-CCA2 and EUF-CMA.

Provable Efficient Certificateless Group Key Exchange Protocol

Certificateless public key cryptography （CL-PKC） avoids the inherent escrow of identity-based cryptography and does not require certificates to guarantee the authenticity of public keys. Based on CL-PKC, we present an efficient constant-round group key exchange protocol, which is provably secure under the intractability of computation Diffie-Hellman problem. Our protocol is a contributory key exchange with perfect forward secrecy and has only two communication rounds. So it is more efficient than other protocols. Moreover, our protocol provides a method to design efficient constant-round group key exchange protocols and most secret sharing schemes could be adopted to construct our protocol.

Secure and efficient multi-message and multi-receiver ID-based signcryption for rekeying in ad hoc networks

In this paper, the security technology of ad hoc networks is studied.To improve the previous multi-receiver signcryption schemes, an ID-based multi-message and multi-receiver signcryption scheme for rekeying in ad hoc networks is proposed.In this scheme, a sender can simultaneously signcrypt n messeges for n receivers, and a receiver can unsigncrypt the ciphertext to get his message with his own private key.An analysis of this scheme indicates that it achieves authenticity and confidentiality in the random oracle model while being of lower computation and communication overhead.Finally, for the application of our scheme in ad hoc, a threshold key updating protocol for ad hoc networks is given.

NEW ID-BASED GROUP SIGNATURE FROM PAIRINGS

We argue that traditional identity-based systems from pairings seem unsuitable for designing group signature schemes due to the problem of key escrow. In this paper we first propose new ID-based public key systems without trusted PKG (Private Key Generator) from bilinear pairings. In our new ID-based systems, if the dishonest PKG impersonates an honest user to communicate with others, the user can provide a proof of treachery of the PKG afterwards, which is similar to certificate-based systems. Therefore, our systems reach the Girault’s trusted level 3. We then propose a group signature scheme under the new ID-based systems, the security and performance of which rely on the new systems. The size of the group public key and the length of the signature are independent on the numbers of the group.

A New ID-Based Proxy Blind Signature Scheme

An identity-based proxy blind signature scheme from bilinear pairings isintroduced, which combines the advantages of proxy signature and blind signature. Furthermore, ourscheme can prevent the original signer from generating the proxy blind signature, thus the profitsof the proxy signer are guaranteed. We introduce bilinear pairings to minimize computationaloverhead and to improve the related performance of our scheme. In addition, the proxy blindsignature presented is non-repudiable and it fulfills perfectly the security requirements of a proxyblind signature.

IDENTITY-BASED KEY-INSULATED PROXY SIGNATURE

In proxy signature schemes,the proxy signer B is permitted to produce a signature on behalf of the original signer A. However,exposure of proxy signing keys can be the most devastating attack on a proxy signature scheme since any adversary can sign messages on behalf of the proxy signer. In this paper,we applied Dodis,et al.’s key-insulation mechanism and proposed an Identity-Based (ID-based) Key-Insulated Proxy Signature (IBKIPS) scheme with secure key-updates. The proposed scheme is strong key-insulated and perfectly key-insulated. Our scheme also supports unbounded period numbers and random-access key-updates.

An Identity-Based Strong Designated Verifier Proxy Signature Scheme

In a strong designated verifier proxy signature scheme, a proxy signer can generate proxy signature on behalf of an original signer, but only the designated verifier can verify the validity of the proxy signature. In this paper, we first define the security requirements for strong designated verifier proxy signature schemes. And then we construct an identity-based strong designated verifier proxy signature scheme. We argue that the proposed scheme satisfies all of the security requirements.

Parallel Key-insulated Signature: Framework and Construction

To deal with the key-exposure problem in signature systems, a new framework named parallel key-insulated signature (PKIS) was introduced, and a concrete PKIS scheme was proposed. Compared with traditional key-insulated signature (KIS) schemes, the proposed PKIS scheme allows a frequent updating for temporary secret keys without increasing the risk of helper key-exposure. Moreover, the proposed PKIS scheme does not collapse even if some (not all) of the helper keys and some of the temporary secret keys are simultaneously exposed. As a result, the security of the PKIS scheme is greatly enhanced, and the damage caused by key-exposure is successfully minimized.

Efficient ID-Based Proxy Blind Signature Scheme

In a proxy blind signature scheme, the proxy signer is allowed to generate a blind signature on behalf of the original signer. The proxy blind signature scheme is useful in several applications such as e-voting and e-payment. In this paper, we propose an identity-based proxy blind signature scheme which combines the advantages of proxy signature and of blind signature. Our scheme fulfills peffecdy the security requirements of a proxy blind signature. Comparing the previous scheme, our scheme needs less computational overhead and is more efficient.
