Signcryption with fast online signing and short signcryptext for secure and private mobile communication

Signcryption scheme is one of the useful tools for secure communication where authenticity and confidentiality are simultaneously required.Now,mobile devices are more and more widely used for communication,and thus it is desirable to design a scheme suitable to mobile applications.In this paper,we propose a signcryption scheme which is efficient enough to be implemented on mobile devices.In our scheme,we need only one multiplication in an online phase,and thus a signcryptor can generate a signcryptext very efficiently in the online phase.Moreover,the size of signcryptext is very short compared with exsiting schemes,and thus our scheme is very efficient in terms of communication overhead.The security of our signcryption scheme is proven in the random oracle model.     

Cryptanalysis of a signcryption scheme with fast online signing and short signcryptext

Signcryption is functional combination of encryption and signature,efficiency higher than the separate signing and encrypting.Recently,Youn et al.presented a new signcryption scheme,which has fast online signing and short signcryptext,and is efficient enough for mobile applications.This scheme is claimed to be both existentially unforgeable and semantically secure.However,in this paper we shall show that it is not existentially unforgeable.     

On the Security of Tag-KEM for Signcryption

Signcryption tag-KEM (Key Encapsulation Mechanism with a tag) is an authenticated tag-KEM for generic construction of hybrid signcryption. Signcryption tag-KEM allows the sender to encapsulate a symmetric key along with a tag so that the receiver can authenticate the sender, the key, and the tag. We present a definition for the security of signcryption tag-KEM which is suitable for a recent signcryption setting. We also present a proof of security for the previous generic construction of hybrid signcryption according to the given definition.

Toward secure and private service discovery anywhere anytime

With the advances in and convergence of Internet technologies, embedded computers, and wireless communication, computing devices have become part of our daily life. Hand-held devices and sensors with wireless connections create opportunities for many new nomadic applications. Service discovery is an essential component for cognitive science to discover existing network services just-in-time. Unlike many other approaches, we propose a service discovery model supporting nomadic users and services in public environments. Our model emphasizes secure and private service discovery in such environments. Location sensing is integrated for location dependent service discovery and is used to lessen service discovery network infrastructure requirements. We analyze the system performance and show our formal verification of the protocols. Our implementation shows that our model is feasible.     

适用于3G网络的无证书的短签密方案

短签密方案实现了在一个逻辑步骤内同时完成了加密和数字签名二者的功能,并且所花费的代价,包括计算时间和消息扩展率两方面,要远远低于传统的先签名后加密的方法。然而目前大部分的短签密方案都不具有可信公钥以及签名验证阶段发生在解签密阶段之后,降低了签密消息的可靠性与伪造签密消息的处理效率。一种新型的基于无证书密码系统的短签密方案被提了出来,相应的安全模型也被定义。该方案计算量小,仅需一次对运算,而且还具有可信公钥以及临时密钥安全性。经过分析及实现验证,该方案可以在消息保密性的基础上实现3G网络信息在传播路径上的认证,从而防范垃圾信息的传播。

A secure short message communication protocol

According to the security requirement of the short message service （SMS） industry application, a secure short message communication protocol is proposed. This is an application level protocol constructed on the standard SMS communication protocol using public key authentication and key agreement without the need of wireless public key infrastructure （WPKI）. Secure short message transmission and dynamic key agreement between mobile terminals and the accessing gateway axe realized. The security of the proposed protocol is validated through the BAN logic. Compared with the standard SMS protocol, the effective payload rate of our protocol can reach 91.4%, and subscriber identity module （SIM） tool kit （STK） applications based on our protocol suit well for all kinds of mobile terminals in practical application.

MASHED: Security and privacy-aware mutual authentication scheme for heterogeneous and distributed mobile cloud computing services

ABSTRACT

Rapid development in mobile devices and cloud computing technologies has increased the number of mobile services from different vendors on the cloud platform. However, users of these services are facing different security and access control challenges due to the nonexistence of security solutions capable of providing secure access to these services, which are from different vendors, using a single key. An effective security solution for heterogeneous Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) services should be able to guarantee confidentiality and integrity through single key-based authentication scheme. Meanwhile, a few of the existing authentication schemes for MCC services require different keys to access different services from different vendors on a cloud platform, thus increases complexity and overhead incurred through generation and storage of different keys for different services.

In this paper, an efficient mutual authentication scheme for accessing heterogeneous MCC services is proposed. The proposed scheme combines the user’s voice signature with cryptography operations to evolve efficient mutual authentication scheme devoid of key escrow problem and allows authorized users to use single key to access the heterogeneous MCC services at a reduced cost.

A provably secure short signature scheme based on discrete logarithms

We propose a short signature scheme whose security is closely related to the discrete logarithm assumption in the random oracle model. The new scheme offers a better security guarantee than existing discrete-logarithm-based signature schemes. The main advantage of this scheme over the DSA signature scheme is that it has a one-fourth reduction in both the signature length and the verification computation; the level of security is preserved. The new short signatures are needed to low-bandwidth communication, low-storage and low-computation environments, and particularly applicable to smart cards and wireless devices.     

代理签名者身份保护的代理签名体制

电子世界中,签名权力的委托通过代理签名来解决。代理签名是原始签名者将他的签名权委托给代理签名者的一种签名体制,代理签名者代表原始签名者进行签名。2002年,K.Shum和K.Wei提出的体制中,可以隐藏代理者的身份。如果仅仅通过代理签名,没有人能够确定代理签名者的身份。而且,如果必要的话,可信任机构可以揭示代理签名者的身份。然而,Narn-YihLee指出K.Shum的签名体制不满足强不可否认性。最后,我们提出一种代理签名体制,这种签名体制能克服以上指出的弱点。新体制满足强不可否认性。

Using IND-CVA for constructing secure communication

Within the framework of UC (universally composable) security, a general method is presented to construct a secure channel protocol with using IND-CVA (indistinguishability of encryption scheme under ciphertext verification attacks). A channel protocol with using the method first invokes an ideal keyexchange protocol to get a session key, and then computes the messages with an authenticated encryption scheme. The paper shows that a channel protocol is UC secure if and only if the underlying authenticated enc...

基于属性签名（attribute-based signature,ABS）是一种重要的密码原语,具有广泛的应用背景,得到众多学者的关注,是密码学的研究热点.为了提高基于属性签名的安全性、表达力和效率,使用多线性映射作为工具,提出一个支持一般电路的具有完善隐私性的基于属性签名方案.引入节点权重概念并采用“从上到下”递归,显著减少生成签名的计算开销;利用左右孩子节点的对称性,缩短门节点的密钥长度.所提出的方案将不可伪造性从“选定消息且选定属性攻击下存在不可伪造”提升到更强的“自适应选择消息但选定属性攻击下存在不可伪造”;将访问结构从特殊电路拓展到一般电路,可以支持任意访问结构,达到任意的访问控制粒度;在保持签名仅为1个群元素的前提下,显著缩短主公钥、主私钥和签名钥的大小和显著降低签名密钥生成、签名生成和验证的计算开销.分析表明：所提出的方案在性能和效率方面均有明显优势,是一个实用的方案.

Designing efficient proxy signature schemes for mobile communication

Proxy signature is an active cryptographic research area, and a wide range of literatures can be found nowadays suggesting improvement and generalization of existing protocols in various directions. However, from the efficiency view, many proposed proxy signature schemes in these literatures are not satisfying and cannot fit to the mobile communication. Therefore, there is a desire to design efficient proxy signature schemes. Based on Boneh et al＇s pairing-based short signature, this paper presents two proxy signature schemes. One is proxy-protected signature scheme, and the other is proxy aggregate signature scheme. Since both of them can achieve high efficiency, it is believed that they are specially suitable for mobile communication environment.
