As people in modern societies are busier than any human era and computer network has profound impact on how people work and live through fast and convenient information exchange, people need more help from each other to accomplish more work via network connections in limited period of time. Therefore, privilege delegation mechanism has become a necessary service in modern enterprises and organizations. Proxy signcryption scheme provides a secure privilege delegation mechanism for a person to delegate his privilege to his proxy agent to accomplish things. In 2010, Lin et al. had proposed an efficient signcryption scheme using bilinear pairings. However, we found that the proxy signcryption scheme of Lin et al. is vulnerable to the chosen warrant attack. A provably secure proxy signcryption scheme using bilinear pairings is introduced accordingly. In terms of performance efficiency, the proposed scheme is superior to other existing schemes. In addition, a new security model is proposed to describe proxy signcryption scheme; based on the security model we show that the proposed scheme is provably secure in terms of indistinguishability under adaptive chosen ciphertext attack (IND-CCA2), unforgeability under adaptive chosen message attack (EF-CMA), and unforgeability under adaptive chosen warrant attack (EF-CWA).

Although encryption and signatures have been two fundamental technologies for cryptosystems, they still receive considerable attention in academia due to the focus on reducing computational costs and communication overhead. In the past decade, applying certificateless signcryption schemes to solve the higher cost of maintaining the certificate chain issued by a certificate authority (CA) has been studied. With the recent increase in the interest in blockchains, signcryption is being revisited as a new possibility. The concepts of a blockchain as a CA and a transaction as a certificate proposed in this paper aim to use a blockchain without CAs or a trusted third party (TTP). The proposed provably secure signcryption scheme implements a designated recipient beforehand such that a sender can cryptographically facilitate the interoperation on the blockchain information with the designated recipient. Thus, the proposed scheme benefits from the following advantages: (1) it removes the high maintenance cost from involving CAs or a TTP, (2) it seamlessly integrates with blockchains, and (3) it provides confidential transactions. This paper also presents the theoretical security analysis and assesses the performance via the simulation results. Upon evaluating the operational cost in real currency based on Ethereum, the experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme only requires a small cost as a fee.

Certificateless short signature schemes can not only have the advantage of certificateless signature, but also provide a short signature size in communication. However, all existing certificateless short signature schemes only proven secure against a normal adversary which can only obtain the valid signature for the original public key rather than a super adversary which can obtain the valid signature for the replaced public key. Recently, Fan et al. proposed a certificateless short signature scheme which is very efficient, but we found it is still cannot against super adversary. In this paper, we first analysis their scheme, and then present an improved scheme which can against super adversaries. Furthermore, our scheme can provide both the strongest security level and the shortest signature size compared the existed provably secure certificateless short signature scheme.

Signcryption Scheme

Generalized ring signcryption (GRSC) can realize ring signature and ring signcryption functions with only one key pair and one algorithm. It is very useful for a system with a large number of users, or whose function may be changed, or with limited storage space. We give a formal definition and security model of GRSC in the certificate-based cryptosystem setting and propose a concrete scheme by using bilinear pairings. The confidentiality of our scheme can be proved under the GBDH and CDH assumptions and the unforgeability of our scheme can be proved under [Formula: see text] and CDH assumptions in the random oracle model, and what is more, our scheme has unconditional anonymity. Compared with other certificateless ring signcryption schemes that use bilinear pairings, it is a highly efficient one.

In 2009, R. Tso et al. proposed an efficient pairing-based short signature scheme which is provably secure in the Random Oracle Model. In this paper, we propose a new key substitution attack on Raylin Tso et al.’s short signature scheme. For a given message and the corresponding valid signature, the malicious attacker can generate a substituted public key. Everyone verifies the signature successfully with the malicious attacker’s substituted public key. Therefore, Raylin Tso et al.’s short signature scheme has a security flaw in the multi-user setting.
