Wireless sensor networks (WSN) have problems such as limited power, weak computing power, poor communication ability, and vulnerability to attack. However, the existing encryption methods cannot effectively solve the above problems when applied to WSN. To this end, according to WSN’s characteristics and based on the identity-based encryption idea, an improved identity-based encryption algorithm (IIBE) is proposed, which can effectively simplify the key generation process, reduce the network traffic, and improve the network security. The design idea of this algorithm lies between the traditional public key encryption and identity-based public tweezers’ encryption. Compared with the traditional public key encryption, the algorithm does not need a public key certificate and avoids the management of the certificate. Compared with identity-based public key encryption, the algorithm addresses the key escrow and key revocation problems. The results of the actual network distribution experiments demonstrate that IIBE has low energy consumption and high security, which are suitable for application in WSN with high requirements on security.

Chosen Ciphertext Attack

Online social networking applications have become more and more popular in the advance of the technological age. Much of our personal information has been disclosed in social networking activities and privacy-preserving still remains a research challenge in social network. Public key encryption scheme with equality test(PKEET), which is an extension of public key encryption with keyword search (PEKS), seems to be a solution. PKEET enables the tester to check whether two given ciphertexts are derived from the same plaintext. Recently, Zhu et al. proposed a pairing-free public key encryption scheme with equality test based on the traditional public key cryptosystem. However, it suffers from certificates management issue. In this paper, we propose a pairing-free identity-based encryption scheme with authorized equality test(PF-IBEAET). The PF-IBEAET scheme also provides fine-grained authorizations. We prove that the scheme is one way secure against chosen identity and chosen ciphertext attack (OW-ID-CCA) and indistinguishable against chosen-identity and chosen-ciphertext attack (IND-ID-CCA) in the random oracle model (ROM). Performance analysis shows that the scheme achieves a better performance than similar schemes.

Identity Based

In a proxy re-encryption scheme, a semi-trusted proxy converts a ciphertext for Alice into a ciphertext for Bob without seeing the underlying plaintext. A number of solutions have been proposed in public key settings. Hierarchical identity-based cryptography is a generalization of identity-based encryption that mirrors an organizational hierarchy, which allows a root private key generator to distribute the workload by delegating private key generation and identity authentication to lower-level private key generators. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical identity-based proxy re-encryption (HIBPRE) scheme which achieves IND-PrID-CCA2 security without random oracles. This is the first HIBPRE scheme up to now, and our scheme satisfies unidirectionality, non-interactivity and permits multiple re-encryptions.

Identity Based Cryptography

A revolutionary change to public-key cryptography can be considered as an Identity Based Cryptography (IBC) in which identity of the receiver is being used as a public key for encrypting a message and Key Generation Centre (KGC). IBC will generate and distribute the private key to each user to decrypt a message. The thought behind presenting the scheme was to improve and reduce the complexity of certificate and key management, but it also gives rise to key escrow problem, access to encrypted information to unauthorized users. The paper represents Improved Identity-Based Encryption Scheme (IIBES) for Domain Name System (DNS) security which provides confidentiality and authentication through modified identity based encryption and identity based digital signatures. The IIBES comprises key revocation mechanism for non-revoked users and also eliminates key escrow problem. Thus, the IIBES aids to implement the identity-based cryptography more safely in reality and protects DNS against cache poisoning, spoofing attack and masquerade attack. Doi: 10.28991/esj-2021-01259 Full Text: PDF

Key Update

Identity-Based Encryption (IBE) which simplifies the public key and certificate management at Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is an important alternative to public key encryption. However, one of the main efficiency drawbacks of IBE is the overhead computation at Private Key Generator (PKG) during user revocation. Efficient revocation has been well studied in traditional PKI setting, but the cumbersome management of certificates is precisely the burden that IBE strives to alleviate [2]. It aiming at tackling the critical issue of identity revocation, we introduce outsourcing computation into IBE for the first time and propose a revocable IBE scheme in the server-aided setting. Our scheme offloads most of the key generation related operations during key-issuing and key-update processes to a Key Update Cloud Service Provider, leaving only a constant number of simple operations for PKG and users to perform locally [3]. This goal is achieved by utilizing a novel collusion-resistant technique: we employ a hybrid private key for each user, in which an AND gate is involved to connect and bound the identity component and the time component [4]. Furthermore, we propose another construction which is provable secure under the recently formulized Refereed Delegation of Computation model. Finally, we provide extensive experimental results to demonstrate the efficiency of our proposed construction. In public key encryption every user must have a pair of keys, public key and private key, for encrypting and decrypting messages. An Identity-based encryption (IBE) eliminates the need for a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). IBE uses the human intelligible identities (e.g., unique name, email address, IP address, etc) as public keys [5]. The sender using IBE encrypts message with the receivers’ identity rather than looking for receivers’ public key and corresponding certificate. Accordingly, receiver decrypts ciphertext using private key associated with the corresponding identity [6]. The private keys of users are obtained from a trusted third party called as Private Key Generator (PKG). The motivation of this paper is to study and review an efficient and secure Identity based encryption scheme with outsourced revocation for cloud computing [7].
