The public key cryptosystem is fundamental in safeguard communication in cyberspace. This paper described a new cryptosystem analogous to El-Gamal encryption scheme, which utilizing the Lucas sequence and Elliptic Curve. Similar to Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) and Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA), the proposed cryptosystem requires a precise hard mathematical problem as the essential part of security strength. The chosen plaintext attack (CPA) was employed to investigate the security of this cryptosystem. The result shows that the system is vulnerable against the CPA when the sender decrypts a plaintext with modified public key, where the cryptanalyst able to break the security of the proposed cryptosystem by recovering the plaintext even without knowing the secret key from either the sender or receiver.

By introducing an easy knapsack-type problem, a probabilistic knapsack-type public key cryptosystem (PKCHD) is proposed. It uses a Chinese remainder theorem to disguise the easy knapsack sequence. Thence, to recover the trapdoor information, the implicit attacker has to solve at least two hard number-theoretic problems, namely integer factorization and simultaneous Diophantine approximation problems. In PKCHD, the encryption function is nonlinear about the message vector. Under the re-linearization attack model, PKCHD obtains a high density and is secure against the low-density subset sum attacks, and the success probability for an attacker to recover the message vector with a single call to a lattice oracle is negligible. The infeasibilities of other attacks on the proposed PKCHD are also investigated. Meanwhile, it can use the hardest knapsack vector as the public key if its density evaluates the hardness of a knapsack instance. Furthermore, PKCHD only performs quadratic bit operations which confirms the efficiency of encrypting a message and deciphering a given cipher-text.

E-mail services are the method of sending and receiving electronic messages over communication networks. Web services on the other hand provide a channel of accessing interlinked hypermeida via the World Wide Web. As these two methods of network communications turn into the most popular services over the Internet, applied cryptography and secure authentication protocols become indispensable in securing confidential data over public networks. In this chapter, we first review a number of cryptographic ciphers widely used in secure communication protocols. We then discuss and compare the popular trust system Web of Trust, the certificate standard X.509, and the standard for public key systems Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). Two secure e-mail standards, OpenPGP and S/MIME, are examined and compared. The de facto standard cryptographic protocol for e-commerce, Secure Socket Layer (SSL) / Transport Layer Security (TLS), and XML Security Standards for secure web services are also discussed.

Multivariate quadratic based public-key cryptography called MQ problem which based on calculation of a secure cryptography of multivariate equations and MQ cryptography security is based on the difficulty of the solution of multivariate equations. But computer and mathematician scientists put a lot of effort and a long time to research MQ cryptography and they have proved that MQ cryptography is NP complete problem. Therefore, before the P problem Equal to the NP problem we do not figure out selected multivariate equations by random in polynomial time. So we can use this feature to construct the relative safety method of the public key encryption. A new type of public-key cryptosystem has been brought up in this paper that one-way shell core function which has such advantages as more security and flexibility, and provides a more inclusive public-key cryptosystem.

Certificateless public key cryptosystem solves both the complex certificate management problem in the public key cryptosystem based on the PKI and the key escrow issue in the public key cryptosystem based on identity. The aggregator can compress n different signatures with respect to n messages from n signers into an aggregate signature, which can help communication equipments to save a lot of bandwidth and computing resources. Therefore, the certificateless aggregate signature (CLAS) scheme is particularly well suited to address secure routing authentication issues in resource-constrained vehicular ad hoc networks. Unfortunately, most of the existing CLAS schemes have problems with security vulnerabilities or high computation and communication overheads. To avoid the above issues and better solve the secure routing authentication problem in vehicular ad hoc networks, we present a new CLAS scheme and give the formal security proof of our scheme under the CDH assumption in the random oracle model. We then evaluate the performance of our proposed CLAS scheme, and the results demonstrate that our proposal is more practical in resource-constrained vehicular ad hoc networks.

Recognition of identities and certainty about identity ownership are crucial factors for secure communication in digital environments. Identity Management Systems have been designed to aid users as well as organisations to manage different user identities. However, traditional Identity Management Systems are primarily designed to facilitate the management of identities from the perspective of the service provider, but provide little support on the user side to manage organisational identities. Public Key Infrastructures (PKI) is the primary tool in aiding users to manage such identities on their sides as well as to establish trust during online transactions. Nevertheless, the complexities and difficulties involved in managing and understanding such certificates from the general public’s point of view are overlooked. This causes vulnerabilities that open up for serious attacks such as identity theft and Phishing. Petname Systems have been proposed for managing organisational identities on the user side in order to improve the user friendliness and to strengthen security. This chapter provides an analysis of the Petname Model by describing its history and background, properties, application domains, and usability issues, and explains how a Petname System can be effectively combined with the PKI to recognise identities and impose certainty by validating the user trust on those identities. The chapter also presents an analysis on two applications that integrate the Public Key Infrastructure with the Petname Model.
