Several constructions have been proposed to reduce the trust required in the PKG (and thus preserve the privacy of users), but these have generally relied on unrealistic assumptions regarding non-collusion between various entities in the system. Unfortunately, these constructions have not significantly improved IBE adoption rates in real-world environments. In this paper, we present a construction that reduces trust in the PKG without unrealistic non-collusion assumptions. We achieve this by incorporating a novel combination of digital credential technology and bilinear maps, and making use of multiple randomly-chosen entities to complete certain tasks. The main result and primary contribution of this paper are a thorough security analysis of this proposed construction, examining the various entity types, attacker models, and collusion opportunities in this environment. We show that this construction can prevent, or at least mitigate, all considered attacks. We conclude that our construction appears to be effective in preserving user privacy and we hope that this construction and its security analysis will encourage greater use of IBE in real-world environments.展开更多

In this paper, we discuss the concrete implementation considerations for PP-IBE and provide a detailed instantiation (based on q-torsion groups in supersingular elliptic curves) that may be useful both for proof-of-concept purposes and for pedagogical purposes.展开更多

The PEKS is useful to keep the management of large data storages secure such as those in a cloud. In this paper, to protect against quantum computer attacks, we present a lattice-based identity-based encryption scheme with key- word search. We have proved that our scheme can achieve ciphertext indistinguishability in the random oracle model, and our scheme can also achieve trapdoor security. In particular, our scheme can designate a unique tester to test and return the search results, therefore it does not need a secure channel. To the best of our knowledge, our scheme is the first iden- tity-based encryption scheme with keyword search from lattice assumption.展开更多

Cloud storage services have numerous advantages,including convenience, high computation, and capacity, thereby attracting usersto outsource data in the cloud. However, users outsource data directly via cloudstage services that are unsafe when outsourcing data is sensitive for users. Therefore, cipher text-policy attribute-based encryption is a promising cryptographicsolution in a cloud environment, and can be drawn up for access control by dataowners (DO) to define access policy. Unfortunately, an outsourced architectureapplied with attribute-based encryption introduces numerous challenges, including revocation. This issue is a threat to the data security of DO. Furthermore,highly secure and flexible cipher text-based attribute access control with role hierarchy user grouping in cloud storage is implemented by extending the KUNodes(revocation) storage identity-based encryption. Result is evaluated using Cloudsim, and our algorithm outperforms in terms of computational cost by consuming32 MB for 150-MB files.展开更多

The first scheme proposed achieves sub-linear size cipertexts and the second scheme achieves O（1）- size ciphertexts. Furthermore, when the public keys are transmitted, the two schemes have short transmissions and achieve O（1） user storage cost, which are important for a mobile ad hoc network.

Compared with prior proofs, our new proof provides a tighter security reduction and minimizes the use of random oracles, thus indicates BF-IBE has better provable security with our new choices of hash functions. The techniques developed in our proof can also be applied to improving security analysis of some other IBE schemes. As an independent technical contribution, we also give a rigorous proof of the Fujisaki-Okamoto (FO) transformation in the case of CPA-to-CCA, which demonstrates the efficiency of the FO-transformation (CPA-to-CCA), in terms of the tightness of security reduction, has long been underestimated. This result can remarkably benefit the security proofs of encryption schemes using the FO-transformation for CPA-to-CCA enhancement.展开更多

Our scheme achieves the full security(adaptive security) under three static(i.e. non q-based) assumptions. It is worth noting that only recently Waters gives a short ciphertext broadcast encryption system that is even adaptively secure under the simple assumptions. One feature of our methodology is that it is relatively simple to leverage our techniques to get adaptive security.展开更多

Some ID-based signcryption schemes and ID-based authenticated key agreement protocols have been presented, but they cannot solve the problem completely. A novel ID-based authentication scheme based on ID-based encrypfion （IBE） and fingerprint hashing method is proposed to solve the difficulties in the IBE scheme, which includes message receiver authenticating the sender, the trusted authority （TA） authenticating the users and transmitting the private key to them. Furthermore, the scheme extends the application of fingerprint authentication from terminal to network and protects against fingerprint data fabrication. The fingerprint authentication method consists of two factors. This method combines a token key, for example, the USB key, with the user＇s fingerprint hash by mixing a pseudo-random number with the fingerprint feature. The security and experimental efficiency meet the requirements of practical applications.展开更多

However, in broadcast encryption scheme, ciphertext length is always related to the size of the receiver set. Thus, how to improve the communication of broadcast encryption is a big issue. In this paper, we proposed an identity-based homomorphic broadcast encryption scheme which supports an external entity to directly calculate ciphertexts and get a new ciphertext which is the corresponding result of the operation on plaintexts without decrypting them. The correctness and security proofs of our scheme were formally proved. Finally, we implemented our scheme in a simulation environment and the experiment results showed that our scheme is efficient for practical applications.展开更多

文摘Identity-Based Encryption (IBE) has seen limited adoption, largely due to the absolute trust that must be placed in the private key generator (PKG)—an authority that computes the private keys for all the users in the environment. Several constructions have been proposed to reduce the trust required in the PKG (and thus preserve the privacy of users), but these have generally relied on unrealistic assumptions regarding non-collusion between various entities in the system. Unfortunately, these constructions have not significantly improved IBE adoption rates in real-world environments.

文摘Leakage of private information including private keys of user has become a threat to the security of computing systems.It has become a common security requirement that a cryptographic scheme should withstand various leakage attacks.In the real life,an adversary can break the security of cryptography primitive by performing continuous leakage attacks.Although,some research on the leakage-resilient cryptography had been made,there are still some remaining issued in previous attempts.The identity-based encryption(IBE)constructions were designed in the bounded-leakage model,and might not be able to meet their claimed security under the continuous-leakage attacks.In the real applications,the leakage is unbounded.That is,a practical cryptography scheme should keep its original security in the continuous leakage setting.The previous continuous leakage-resilient IBE schemes either only achieve chosen-plaintext attacks security or the chosen-ciphertext attacks(CCA)security is proved in the selective identity model.Aiming to solve these problems,in this paper,we show how to construct the continuous leakage-resilient IBE scheme,and the scheme’s adaptive CCA security is proved in the standard model based on the hardness of decisional bilinear Diffie-Hellman exponent assumption.For any adversary,all elements in the ciphertext are random,and an adversary cannot obtain any leakage on the private key of user from the corresponding given ciphertext.Moreover,the leakage parameter of our proposal is independent of the plaintext space and has a constant size.

文摘In this paper,we show how to use the dual techniques in the subgroups to give a secure identity-based broadcast encryption(IBBE) scheme with constant-size ciphertexts. Our scheme achieves the full security(adaptive security) under three static(i.e. non q-based) assumptions. It is worth noting that only recently Waters gives a short ciphertext broadcast encryption system that is even adaptively secure under the simple assumptions. One feature of our methodology is that it is relatively simple to leverage our techniques to get adaptive security.

文摘Current identity-based （ID） cryptosystem lacks the mechanisms of two-party authentication and user＇s private key distribution. Some ID-based signcryption schemes and ID-based authenticated key agreement protocols have been presented, but they cannot solve the problem completely. A novel ID-based authentication scheme based on ID-based encrypfion （IBE） and fingerprint hashing method is proposed to solve the difficulties in the IBE scheme, which includes message receiver authenticating the sender, the trusted authority （TA） authenticating the users and transmitting the private key to them. Furthermore, the scheme extends the application of fingerprint authentication from terminal to network and protects against fingerprint data fabrication. The fingerprint authentication method consists of two factors. This method combines a token key, for example, the USB key, with the user＇s fingerprint hash by mixing a pseudo-random number with the fingerprint feature. The security and experimental efficiency meet the requirements of practical applications.

文摘To give concurrent consideration both the efficiency and the security(intensity of intractable problem) in the standard model,a chosen ciphertext secure identity-based broadcast encryption is proposed.Against the chosen ciphertext security model,by using identity(ID) sequence and adding additional information in ciphertext,the self-adaptive chosen identity security(the full security) and the chosen ciphertext security are gained simultaneously.The reduction of scheme's security is the decisional bilinear Diffie-Hellman(BDH) intractable assumption,and the proof of security shows that the proposed scheme is indistinguishable against adaptive chosen ciphertext attacks in the standard model under the decisional BDH intractable assumption.So the security level is improved,and it is suitable for higher security environment.

文摘To design an efficient protocol for sharing the encrypted lock keys in the renting house system,we introduce a new notion called time-and identitybased proxy reencryption(TIPRE)and the blockchain platform.Our CPA secure TIPRE scheme is constructed from Green et al.’s identity-based proxy reencryption scheme by adding the time property.In every time period,a time stamp authority generates a public key embedded with the current time stamp for each user.In our protocol for the renting house system,the TIPRE scheme is the primary building block,and the blockchain platform serves instead of a trusted third party,such as a real estate agency between landlords and tenants.The TIPRE scheme allows the landlord to change the lock key at each time period for safety.The blockchain platform allows the landlords and tenants to directly interact,and all of the interactions are recorded in the blockchain database to provide the desired security requirements,such as nonrepudiation and unforgeability.Finally,we provide the secure analysis of our protocol and test its performance by implementing it in the MacBook Pro and the Intel Edison development platforms.

文摘An identity-based proxy re-encryption scheme(IB-PRE)allows a semi-trusted proxy to convert an encryption under one identity to another without revealing the underlying message.Due to the fact that the proxy was semi-trusted,it should place as little trust as necessary to allow it to perform the translations.In some applications such as distributed file system,it demands the adversary cannot identify the sender and recipient’s identities.However,none of the exiting IB-PRE schemes satisfy this requirement.In this work,we first define the security model of key-private IB-PRE.Finally,we propose the first key-private IB-PRE scheme.Our scheme is chosen plaintext secure(CPA)and collusion resistant in the standard model.
文摘Broadcast encryption (BE) allows a sender to broadcast its message to a set of receivers in a single ciphertext. However, in broadcast encryption scheme, ciphertext length is always related to the size of the receiver set. Thus, how to improve the communication of broadcast encryption is a big issue. In this paper, we proposed an identity-based homomorphic broadcast encryption scheme which supports an external entity to directly calculate ciphertexts and get a new ciphertext which is the corresponding result of the operation on plaintexts without decrypting them. The correctness and security proofs of our scheme were formally proved. Finally, we implemented our scheme in a simulation environment and the experiment results showed that our scheme is efficient for practical applications.
