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.展开更多

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.展开更多

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.展开更多

With the development of the certificateless public key cryptography (CLPKC), many certificatelss signcryption (CLSC) schemes using bilinear pairing hve been proposed. Comparated other operations, the bilinear pairing operaion is much more compulicated. Therefore, CLSC scheme without bilinear pairing is more suitable for applications. Recently, Jing et al. proposed a CLSC scheme without bilinear pairing and claimed their scheme is secure against two types of adversaries. In this paper, we will show their scheme provide neither unforgeability property nor confidentiality property. To improve security, we also propose a new CLSC scheme without pairing and demonstrate it is provably secure in the random oracle model.展开更多

In circular region of Euclidian distance,mobile terminal evenly generates some false locations,from which half optimal false locations are screened out according to position entropy,location and mapping background information. The anonymity obtains the effective guarantee,so as to realize privacy protection. Through security analyses,the scheme is proved not only to be able to realize such security features as privacy,anonymity and nonforgeability,but also able to resist query tracing attack. And the result of simulation shows that this scheme not only has better evenness in selecting false locations,but also improves efficiency in generating and selecting false nodes.展开更多

This new paring-based scheme features a few improvements compared with other schemes in the literature. The two most noticeable features are its efficiency, by drastically reducing the number of pair- ing computations, and the ability it gives the user to share the identity-based private key without requiring any access to a private key generator. With the ability it gives the user to share the identity-based private key, our ID-based threshold decryption (IBTD) scheme, the second of its kind, is signif- icantly more efficient than the first scheme, which was de- veloped by Baek and Zheng, at the expense of a slightly in- creased ciphertext length. In fact, our IBTD scheme tries to use as few bilinear pairings as possible, especially without depending on the suite of Baek-Zheng secret sharing tools based on pairings.展开更多

In this scheme, the tamper-proof device in the roadside unit(RSU) is used to complete the message signature and authentication process together with the vehicle, which makes it more secure to communicate between RSU and trusted authority(TA) and faster to update system parameters and revoke the vehicle. And this is also cheaper than installing tamper-proof devices in each vehicle unit. Moreover, the scheme provide provable security proof under random oracle model(ROM), which shows that the proposed scheme can meet the security requirements such as conditional privacy, unforgeability, traceability, etc. And the results of simulation experiment demonstrate that this scheme not only of achieves high efficiency, but also has low message loss rate.展开更多

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.展开更多

However, security and privacy preservation have remained important challenges for remote health monitoring systems. Since a patient’s health information is sensitive and the communication channel (i.e. the Internet) is insecure, it is important to protect them against unauthorized entities. Otherwise, failure to do so will not only lead to compromise of a patient’s privacy, but will also put his/her life at risk. How to provide for confidentiality, patient anonymity and un-traceability, access control to a patient’s health information and even key exchange between a patient and her physician are critical issues that need to be addressed if a wider adoption of remote health monitoring systems is to be realized. This paper proposes an authenticated privacy preserving pairing-based scheme for remote health monitoring systems. The scheme is based on the concepts of bilinear paring, identity-based cryptography and non-interactive identity-based key agreement protocol. The scheme also incorporates an efficient batch signature verification scheme to reduce computation cost during multiple simultaneous signature verifications.展开更多
