Biometric identity-based cryptography for e-Government environment
Government information is a vital asset that must be kept in a trusted environment and efficiently managed by authorised parties. Even though e-Government provides a number of advantages, it also introduces a range of new security risks. Sharing confidential and top-secret information in a secure manner among government sectors tend to be the main element that government agencies look for. Thus, developing an effective methodology is essential and it is a key factor for e-Government success. The proposed e-Government scheme in this paper is a combination of identity-based encryption and biometric technology. This new scheme can effectively improve the security in authentication systems, which provides a reliable identity with a high degree of assurance. In addition, this paper demonstrates the feasibility of using Finite-state machines as a formal method to analyse the proposed protocols

Proxy Blind Signature using Hyperelliptic Curve Cryptography
Blind signature is the concept to ensure anonymity of e-coins. Untracebility and unlinkability are two main properties of real coins and should also be mimicked electronically. A user has to fulll above two properties of blind signature for permission to spend an e-coin. During the last few years, asymmetric cryptosystems based on curve based cryptographiy have become very popular, especially for embedded applications. Elliptic curves(EC) are a special case of hyperelliptic curves (HEC). HEC operand size is only a fraction of the EC operand size. HEC cryptography needs a group order of size at least 2160. In particular, for a curve of genus two eld Fq with p 280 is needeed. Therefore, the eld arithmetic has to be performed using 80-bit long operands. Which is much better than the RSA using 1024 bit key length. The hyperelliptic curve is best suited for the resource constraint environments. It uses lesser key and provides more secure transmisstion of data
Identity-Based Cryptosystem Based on Tate Pairing
Tate Pairings on Elliptic curve Cryptography are important because they can be used to build efficient Identity-Based Cryptosystems, as well as their implementation essentially determines the efficiency of cryptosystems. In this work, we propose an identity-based encryption based on Tate Pairing on an elliptic curve. The scheme was chosen cipher text security in the random oracle model assuming a variant of computational problem Diff Hellman. This paper provides precise definitions to encryption schemes based on identity, it studies the construction of the underlying ground field, their extension to enhance the finite field arithmetic and presents a technique to accelerate the time feeding in Tate pairing algorithm
Algorithms and cryptographic protocols using elliptic curves
En els darrers anys, la criptografia amb corbes el.líptiques ha
adquirit una importància creixent, fins a arribar a formar part en
la actualitat de diferents estàndards industrials. Tot i que s'han
dissenyat variants amb corbes el.líptiques de criptosistemes
clàssics, com el RSA, el seu màxim interès rau en la seva
aplicació en criptosistemes basats en el Problema del Logaritme
Discret, com els de tipus ElGamal. En aquest cas, els
criptosistemes el.líptics garanteixen la mateixa seguretat que els
construïts sobre el grup multiplicatiu d'un cos finit primer, però
amb longituds de clau molt menor.
Mostrarem, doncs, les bones propietats d'aquests criptosistemes,
així com els requeriments bàsics per a que una corba
sigui criptogràficament útil, estretament relacionat amb la seva
cardinalitat. Revisarem alguns mètodes que permetin descartar
corbes no criptogràficament útils, així com altres que permetin
obtenir corbes bones a partir d'una de donada. Finalment,
descriurem algunes aplicacions, com són el seu ús en Targes
Intel.ligents i sistemes RFID, per concloure amb alguns avenços
recents en aquest camp.The relevance of elliptic curve cryptography has grown in recent
years, and today represents a cornerstone in many industrial
standards. Although elliptic curve variants of classical
cryptosystems such as RSA exist, the full potential of elliptic
curve cryptography is displayed in cryptosystems based on the
Discrete Logarithm Problem, such as ElGamal. For these, elliptic
curve cryptosystems guarantee the same security levels as their
finite field analogues, with the additional advantage of using
significantly smaller key sizes.
In this report we show the positive properties of elliptic curve
cryptosystems, and the requirements a curve must meet to be
useful in this context, closely related to the number of points.
We survey methods to discard cryptographically uninteresting
curves as well as methods to obtain other useful curves from
a given one. We then describe some real world applications
such as Smart Cards and RFID systems and conclude with a
snapshot of recent developments in the field
