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.展开更多

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

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), keys could be compromised easily due to its limited hardware protections. A secure group key management scheme is responsible for secure distributing group keys among valid nodes of the group. Based on the key-insulated encryption (KIE), we propose a group key management scheme (KIE-GKMS), which integrates the pair-wise key pre-distribution for WSN. The KIE-GKMS scheme updates group keys dynamically when adding or removing nodes. Moreover, the security analysis proves that the KIE-GKMS scheme not only obtains the semantic security, but also provides the forward and backward security. Finally, the theoretical analysis shows that the KIE-GKMS scheme has constant performance on both communication and storage costs in sensor nodes.展开更多

To reduce the underlying danger induced by private key leakage, Dodis et al.(2003) proposed the first key-insulated signature scheme. To handle issues concerning the private key leakage in certificateless signature schemes, we devise the first certificateless key-insulated signature scheme. Our scheme applies the key-insulated mechanism to certificateless cryptography, one with neither certificate nor key escrow. We incorporate Waters (2005)’s signature scheme, Paterson and Schuldt (2006)’s identity-based signature scheme, and Liu et al.(2007)’s certificateless signature scheme to obtain a certificateless key-insulated signature scheme. Our scheme has two desirable properties. First, its security can be proved under the non-pairing-based generalized bilinear Diffie-Hellman (NGBDH) conjecture, without utilizing the random oracle model; second, it solves the key escrow problem in identity-based key-insulated signatures.展开更多
