In the scheme, anyone is allowed to encrypt a message and distribute it to a designated group. Each member in the designated group has the ability to independently decrypt a ciphertext. In contrast to traditional broadcast encryption, all the valid receivers in the proposed scheme compose the designated group. To take advantage of this property, a tab for the group is set and the matching private key for each member is generated. In addition, before decrypting a ciphertext, anyone in the scheme can verify the ciphertext, to ensure that the ciphertext is correct. This property is very important for large-scale group communication, as the gateway can filter incorrect ciphertext and alleviate the receiver＇s workload. Finally, a proof in the random oracle model is given, to show that the proposed scheme is secure against the adaptively chosen ciphertext attack.展开更多

A misunderstanding in the former instantiations is pointed out and analyzed. A method of using this primitive as a substitution of random oracles is also proposed. The partial and full instantiations of random oracles in optimal asymmetric encryption padding （OAEP） implemented by pseudorandom functions are described and the resulted schemes are proven to be indistinguishable secure against adaptive chosen ciphertext attack （IND-CCA2） secure. Using this method, one can transform a practical public key encryption scheme secure in the random oracle model into a standard-model secure scheme. The security of the scheme is based on computational assumptions, which is weaker than decisional assumptions used in Cramer- Shoup like schemes.展开更多

In this article, a novel broadcast group-oriented signcryption scheme is presented for group communication scenarios in distributed networks, Anyone in this scheme can signcrypt a message and distribute it to a designated group, and any member in the receiving group can unsigncrypt the ciphertext. The ciphertext and public key in the scheme are of constant size. In addition, this new scheme offers public verification of the ciphertext. This property is very important to the large-scale group communication since the gateway can filter the incorrect ciphertext and alleviate the receiver＇s workload. Finally, a proof in the random oracle model is given to show that the scheme is secure against chosen ciphertext attack and existential forgery.展开更多

The existing CCA-secure public key cryptosystems on the standard model are expensive in terms of efficiency and practicality. In this paper, an efficient and practical public key cryptosystem is presented over the group of signed quadratic residues. It is provably secure against CCA on the standard model. Furthermore, public verifiability for this scheme is also realized in the way that projects the verification privacy key into public key on trapdoor pretending. It will be useful to devise efficient CCA-secure threshold and proxy re-encryption schemes on the standard model.展开更多
文摘A novel broadcast encryption scheme for group communication scenarios in distributed networks is presented.

To take advantage of this property, a tab for the group is set and the matching private key for each member is generated. In addition, before decrypting a ciphertext, anyone in the scheme can verify the ciphertext, to ensure that the ciphertext is correct. This property is very important for large-scale group communication, as the gateway can filter incorrect ciphertext and alleviate the receiver＇s workload. Finally, a proof in the random oracle model is given, to show that the proposed scheme is secure against the adaptively chosen ciphertext attack.
