Key insulation is an important technique to protect private keys. To deal with the private （signing） key exposure problem in identity-based signature systems, we propose an identity-based threshold key-insulated signature （IBTKIS） scheme. It strengthens the security and flexibility of existing identity-based key-insulated signature schemes. Our scheme＇ s security is proven in the random oracle model and rests on the hardness of the computational Diffie-Helhnan problem in groups equipped with a pairing. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first IBTKIS scheme up to now.展开更多
