Proxy Signature Scheme with Effective Revocation Using Bilinear Pairings
We present a proxy signature scheme using bilinear pairings that provides
effective proxy revocation. The scheme uses a binding-blinding technique to
avoid secure channel requirements in the key issuance stage. With this
technique, the signer receives a partial private key from a trusted authority
and unblinds it to get his private key, in turn, overcomes the key escrow
problem which is a constraint in most of the pairing-based proxy signature
schemes. The scheme fulfills the necessary security requirements of proxy
signature and resists other possible threats

The thesis focuses on the possibilities of using non-conventional cryptographic primitives that provide enhanced security features, such as the protection of user privacy in communication systems. In the dissertation, the performance of cryptographic and mathematic primitives on various devices that participate in the security of heterogeneous networks is evaluated. The main objectives of the thesis focus on the design of advanced privacy-preserving cryptographic protocols. There are three designed protocols which use pairing-based group signatures to ensure user privacy. These proposals ensure the protection of user privacy together with the authentication, integrity and non-repudiation of transmitted messages during communication. The protocols employ the optimization techniques such as batch verification to increase their performance and become more practical in heterogeneous networks.
A New Proxy Identity-Based Signcryption Scheme for Partial Delegation of Signing Rights
In this paper, a new identity-based proxy signcryption scheme is presented. The proposed scheme allows partial delegation of signing rights. Consequently, a signature created by the proxy signer is distinguishable from that created by the principal signer. This level of security is a common requirement in many applications to prevent malicious proxy agents from impersonating the principal signer. Moreover, the scheme is based on bilinear pairings over elliptic curves and thus smaller key sizes are required compared to schemes not utilizing elliptic curves. A revocation protocol of dishonest agents is given together with a renewal procedure for the proxies of honest agents. Finally, an application scenario for the proposed scheme is presented
Secure Authentication and Privacy-Preserving Techniques in Vehicular Ad-hoc NETworks (VANETs)
In the last decade, there has been growing interest in Vehicular Ad Hoc NETworks (VANETs). Today car manufacturers have already started to equip vehicles with sophisticated sensors that can provide many assistive features such as front collision avoidance, automatic lane tracking, partial autonomous driving, suggestive lane changing, and so on. Such technological advancements are enabling the adoption of VANETs not only to provide safer and more comfortable driving experience but also provide many other useful services to the driver as well as passengers of a vehicle. However, privacy, authentication and secure message dissemination are some of the main issues that need to be thoroughly addressed and solved for the widespread adoption/deployment of VANETs. Given the importance of these issues, researchers have spent a lot of effort in these areas over the last decade. We present an overview of the following issues that arise in VANETs: privacy, authentication, and secure message dissemination. Then we present a comprehensive review of various solutions proposed in the last 10 years which address these issues. Our survey sheds light on some open issues that need to be addressed in the future
ASPECT-BASE PROXY-ORIENTED INFORMATION SAVING AND DISTANT DATA RELIABILITY VERIFICATION IN CLOUD
This paper is dependent on the study outcomes of proxy cryptography, identity-based public key cryptography and remote data integrity checking in public places cloud. In public places cloud, this paper concentrates on the identity-based proxy-oriented data uploading and remote data integrity checking. By utilizing identity-based public key cryptology, our suggested ID-PUIC protocol is efficient because the certificate management is eliminated. ID-PUIC is really a novel proxy-oriented data uploading and remote data integrity checking model in public places cloud. Using the public cloud platform, the customers are relieved from the burden for storage management, universal data access with independent geographical locations, etc. Throughout analysis, the manager is going to be limited to connect to the network to be able to guard against collusion. But, the managerâs legal business will go on throughout analysis. We provide the formal system model and security model for ID-PUIC protocol. Then, in line with the bilinear pairings, we designed the very first concrete ID-PUIC protocol. Within the random oracle model, our designed ID-PUIC protocol is provably secure. However, the suggested ID-PUIC protocol may also realize private remote data integrity checking, delegated remote data integrity checking and public remote data integrity checking in line with the original clientâs authorization
