"Due to the lack of a centralized server in “Peer-to-Peer” (P2P) networks, users are responsible for the security of these networks. One of the security issues in P2P networks is the security of the message routing. Messages could be altered or modified by attackers while being routed. The conventional security method to avoid this has been “Public Key Cryptography” (PKC). To avoid the certificate management issue in PKC, “Identity-based Encryption” (IBE) has been suggested in which any arbitrary string could be used as a public key. Since IBE is a computationally expensive method, current proposed IBE-based methods are not effective in the message routing phase in P2P networks and highly affect the performance of message delivery time in these networks. This thesis proposes two IBE-based protocols that can be applied effectively to the message routing phase of structured P2P networks, yet provide a satisfactory message delivery time performance. Both protocols benefit from Identity-based key exchange scheme and, therefore, none of them impose any extra communication on the network to secure message routing. Protocol 1 significantly improves the performance of message delivery time compared to the current IBE-based proposed methods. Protocol 2, which requires nodes to store data, has a performance similar to the situations in which no security measures are applied for message routing."

It is an important challenge to find out suitable cryptography for WSN due to limitations of energy, computation capability and storage resources. Considering this sensor feature on limitations of resources, a security architecture based-on public key cryptography is proposed. The security architecture is based on identity based cryptosystem, but not requires key handshaking. The analysis shows that the security architecture ensures a good level of security and is very much suitable for the resources constrained trend of wireless sensor network.

P2P communities can be seen as truly Distributed Computing applications in which group members communicate with one another to exchange information. The authors consider security issues in Peer to Peer Networks. For secure exchange of data between the group members the authors present a cryptography protocol and an Identity mechanism which can able to check even the Trust of the Peers based on the available reputation information. The authors are encapsulating the reputations of both the provider and the requester. So the requester cannot (gainfully) maliciously abort the transaction in the middle. In other words, the requester cannot take the service from the provider and then logoff without giving a recommendation to the provider.

Certificateless cryptography aims at combining the advantages of public key cryptography and identity based cryptography to avoid the certificate management and the key escrow problem. In this paper, we present a novel certificateless public key encryption scheme on the elliptic curve over the ring, whose security is based on the hardness assumption of Bilinear Diffie-Hellman problem and factoring the large number as in an RSA protocol. Moreover, since our scheme requires only one pairing operation in decryption, it is significantly more efficient than other related schemes. In addition, based on our encryption system, we also propose a protocol to protect the confidentiality and integrity of information in the scenario of Internet of Things with constrained resource nodes.

Electronic voting protocols proposed to date meet their properties based on Public Key Cryptography (PKC), which offers high flexibility through key agreement protocols and authentication mechanisms. However, when PKC is used, it is necessary to implement Certification Authority (CA) to provide certificates which bind public keys to entities and enable verification of such public key bindings. Consequently, the components of the protocol increase notably. An alternative is to use Identity-Based Encryption (IBE). With this kind of cryptography, it is possible to have all the benefits offered by PKC, without neither the need of certificates nor all the core components of a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). Considering the aforementioned, in this paper we propose an electronic voting protocol, which meets the privacy and robustness properties by using bilinear maps.

Based an identity-based signature scheme, we givea certificateless signature scheme. And then we propose a certificateless blind signature (CLBS) scheme in this paper. This schemeis more efficient than those of previous schemes by pre-computing the pairing e (P, P)=g. Based on CL-PKC, it eliminates theusing of certificates in the signature scheme with respect to thetraditional public key cryptography (PKC) and solves key escrowproblems in ID-based signature schemes. Meanwhile it retains themerits of BS schemes. The proposed CLBS scheme is existentialunforgeable in the random oracle model under the intractabilityof the q-Strong Diffie-Hellman problem.


In computer based system, key for the problem of identification, authentication and secrecy can be found in the field of cryptography. Dependence on public key infrastructure and to receive certificates signed by Certificate Authority (CA) to authenticate oneself for exchange of encrypted messages is one of the most significant limitation for the widespread adoption of Public Key Cryptography (PKC) as this process is time engrossing and error prone. Identity based cryptography (IBC) aspires to reduce the certificate and key management overhead of PKC. IBC’s important primordial is Identity-based Encryption (IBE). IBE provided emergent for perception of Identity based signature (IBS) schemes. In this paper, overview of IBE and IBS schemes has been given. Also, a survey on various IBE and IBS schemes has been performed to review different problems related to them. Finally, feasibility and applicability of IBC in current and future environments has been discussed.
