Multi-signcryption scheme is an extension of signcryption scheme for multi-signers performing together the signcryption operation on messages, and it provides useful cryptographic functions such as confidentiality and authenticity for the sound circulation of messages through the Internet. In this paper, we show the weaknesses of the previous multi-signcryption schemes. And then we propose a new multi-signcryption scheme that improves the weaknesses and the efficiency of the previous schemes. Our scheme efficiently provides message flexibility, order flexibility, message verifiability, order verifiability, message confidentiality, message unforgeability, non-repudiation and robustness. Therefore, it is suitable for protecting messages and multi-signers from malicious attacks in the Internet.

Signcryption is a cryptographic primitive which offers authentication and confidentiality simultaneously with a cost lower than signing and encrypting the message independently. We propose a new cryptographic notion called Identity-based online/offline signcryption. The notion of online/offline scheme can be divided into two phases, the first phase is performed offline prior to the arrival of a message to be signed or encrypted and the second phase is performed online phase after knowing the message and the public key of recipient. The Online phase does not require any heavy computations such as pairings or exponents. It is particularly suitable for power-constrained devices such as smart cards. In this paper, we propose ID-based signcryption scheme and ID-based online/offline signcryption scheme where the confidentiality and authenticity are simultaneously required to enable a secure and trustable communication environment. To our best knowledge, this is the first ID-based online/offline signcryption scheme that can be proven secure in the standard model.

The SMART Highway project combines road construction with advanced technology and vehicle telecommunications. Its expected outcome is a world-leading intelligent road that is green, fast, and comfortable. A vehicular ad-hoc network(VANET) is the core technology of the SMART Highway, whose transport operation is based on road vehicles. The VANET is a next-generation networking technology that enables wireless communication between vehicles or between vehicles and a road side unit(RSU). In the VANET system, a vehicle accident is likely to cause a serious disaster. Therefore, some information on safety is essential to serve as the key exchange protocol for communication between vehicles. However, the key exchange scheme of the general network proposed for a fast-moving communication environment is unsuitable for vehicles. In this paper, communication between multiple vehicles more efficient and secure key exchange at the vehicle certification by signcryption is proposed.

클라우드 컴퓨팅 환경에서는 사용자의 데이터를 수많은 분산서버를 이용하여 데이터를 저장한다. 클라우드 컴퓨팅 환경에서는 사용자의 데이터 보호를 위해 데이터를 암호화하여 저장한다. 개인이 아닌 그룹 내에서 공동으로 사용하는 시스템의 경우 그룹 내 사용자 모두 데이터를 서비스 받기 위해 공동의 그룹키를 사용하여 데이터를 암호화 하게 된다. 추후에 그룹 내의 기존 사용자가 그룹을 탈퇴할 경우 그 사용자가 접근 가능했던 데이터가 탈퇴한 그룹원에 의해 노출되게 된다. 이를 방지하기 위해 탈퇴한 멤버에 의한 데이터 유출을 막기 위해서 새로운 그룹키를 갱신하여 모든 데이터를 다시 암호화해야 한다. 하지만 이 과정에서 대용량 데이터의 암복호화 과정에서 막대한 오버헤드가 발생하게 된다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 이러한 그룹 멤버의 가입과 탈퇴에 독립적인 그룹키 관리 방식을 제안한다. 또한 분산서버로부터 데이터를 수집할 시 분산서버의 서명과 데이터의 암호화가 동시에 이루어지는 사인크립션 기법을 적용하여 보다 원활한 데이터 조각을 모을 수 있는 기법을 제안한다.
