Digital signatures are crucial network security technologies. However, in traditional public key signature schemes, the certificate management is complicated and the schemes are vulnerable to public key replacement attacks. In order to solve the problems, in this paper, we propose a self-certified signature scheme over lattice. Using the self-certified public key, our scheme allows a user to certify the public key without an extra certificate. It can reduce the communication overhead and computational cost of the signature scheme. Moreover, the lattice helps prevent quantum computing attacks. Then, based on the small integer solution problem, our scheme is provable secure in the random oracle model. Furthermore, compared with the previous self-certified signature schemes, our scheme is more secure.

Abstract In this paper, we proposed an idea to construct a general multivariate public key cryptographic (MPKC) scheme based on a user’s identity. In our construction, each user is distributed a unique identity by the key distribution center (KDC) and we use this key to generate user’s private keys. Thereafter, we use these private keys to produce the corresponding public key. This method can make key generating process easier so that the public key will reduce from dozens of Kilobyte to several bits. We then use our general scheme to construct practical identity-based signature schemes named ID-UOV and ID-Rainbow based on two well-known and promising MPKC signature schemes, respectively. Finally, we present the security analysis and give experiments for all of our proposed schemes and the baseline schemes. Comparison shows that our schemes are both efficient and practical.

Certificateless Signature

Liu et al. proposed the first certificateless signature scheme without random oracles in 2007. However, Xiong et al. showed that Liu et al.'s scheme is insecure against a malicious-but-passive KGC attack and proposed an improved scheme. In ISA 2009, Yuan et al. also proposed a new certificateless signature scheme without random oracles. Although they claimed that the two schemes are secure in the standard model, this paper shows that both Xiong et al.'s improved scheme and Yuan et al.'s new scheme are vulnerable to key replacement attack, where an adversary, obtaining a signature on a message and replacing the public key of a signer, can forge valid signatures on the same message under the replaced public key. We also give the corresponding modifications of the two schemes to resist key replacement attack.

Provably Secure

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.

Digital Signature Scheme

A scheme is proposed in this chapter to apply a secure digital signature scheme in a mobile-IP environment and treats the three entities in a dynamic path as either foreign agents (FA), home agents (HA) or mobile agents (MA), such that a coalition is formed containing each of the individual agents. Each agent has a pair of keys: one private and one public. The private key is evolving with time, and the public key is signed by a certification authority (CA). All the private keys of the three agents in the coalition are needed to sign a signature. Furthermore, all the messages are signed and verified. The signature is verified against a public key, computed as the product of the public keys of all three agents, and readily generated when a new dynamic path is formed. In addition, the key-evolving scheme prevents an adversary from forging past signatures under any circumstances. As a result of the schemes’ proactive refresh capability, an adversary must simultaneously compromise each MA, FA and HA in order to forge future signatures. When a new dynamic path is formed or private keys evolve to new states, an interactive, proactive synchronization scheme is employed among the agents. Thus, the loss of a mobile device, or its information, will cause minimal information damage.

Most existing verifiable ring signature schemes are based on traditional PKCs, which cannot resist future attacks of quantum computers. Fortunately, the MQ-problem based Multivariate Public-Key Cryptosystem (MPKC) is an important alternative to traditional PKCs for its potential to resist future attacks of quantum computers. In this paper, we proposed a construction of verifiable ring signature based on MPKC, which has the properties of consistent, unforgery, signer-anonymity and verifiability.

Digital signature schemes allow a signer to transform any message into a signed message, such that anyone can verify the validity of the signed message using the signer’s public key, but only the signer can generate signed messages. A proxy re-signature, which is a type of digital signatures, has significant applications in many areas. Proxy signature scheme was first introduced by Blaze, Bleumer, and Strauss, but that scheme is inefficient and with limited features. After that, some Proxy re-signature schemes were proposed by researchers. This paper constructs a blind proxy re-signatures scheme. Comparing to the previous proxy re-signature schemes, the scheme adds a message blinded feature, and then the security of the scheme is proven.

Certificateless Signature

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.

Legal Consequences

There is a widespread misconception among some lawyers, technologists and the public that the Estonian digital signature scheme provides reliable proof of the time when a document was digitally signed. In this article Tõnu Mets and Arnis Parsovs show that the legal requirement to establish the time of signing is not met in practice. The related legal requirement that the validation of the digital signature should confirm that the certificate was valid at the time of signing is also not met. The authors analyse the legal consequences of this, and discuss possible solutions for the issues that arise. They note that digital signature schemes used in other countries implementing Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 of the European Parliament and the Council of 23 July 2014 (eIDAS) are likely to share the problems discussed in this article.

Multivariate Public Key Cryptography (MPKC) is one of the main candidates for post-quantum cryptography, especially in the area of signature schemes. In this paper, we instantiate a certificate Identity-Based Signature (IBS) scheme based on Rainbow, one of the most efficient and secure multivariate signature schemes. In addition, we revise the previous identity-based signature scheme IBUOV based on the Unbalanced Oil and Vinegar (UOV) scheme on the security and choice of parameters and obtain that our scheme is more efficient than IBUOV in terms of key sizes and signature sizes.
