In 2002, Shundong Xia proposed a new ID-based group signature scheme with strong separability. The nature of a strong separability is to divide group manager's role into a membership manager and a revocation manager Jianhong et al showed that the scheme was not coalition-resistant. In this letter, we first propose two new attacks, forgery and link attacks, for Xia-You's scheme. We also propose a new ID-based group signature scheme that Is resistant to coalition, forgery and link attacks

Since one of weak points of public crypto-systems is to require the verification of public key, identity based crypto-systems were proposed as an alternative. However, such techniques need a private key generator which can be a single point of failure. To improve such weakness, threshold identity-based crypto-systems were proposed. In this paper, we propose a new threshold identity-based encryption scheme which is constructed to extend an identity-based encryption scheme by Cocks. Since the proposed scheme is based on quadratic residues, it has smaller complexity of encryption. And we prove that the proposed scheme is secure against a chosen identity attack.

Dynamic threshold public-key encryption provides dynamic setting of the group of all users, receivers and the threshold value. Over recent years, there are many studies on the construction of scheme, called ID-based dynamic threshold encryption, which combines the ID-based encryption with dynamic threshold encryption. In this paper, we analyze the ID-based dynamic threshold encryption proposed by Xing and Xu in 2011, and show that their scheme has a structural problem. We propose a conversion method from ID-based encryption which uses the bilinear map to ID-based dynamic threshold encryption. Additionally, we prove this converted scheme has CPA security under the full model.

신원(ID) 기반 암호시스템은 인증서 관리의 복잡함이 없는 좋은 장점이 있는 반면, KGC(Key Generator Center)가 사용자의 비일 키를 발행해 주기 때문에 안전하게 개인키를 사용자에게 전송해야 하는 문제와 KGC가 모든 사용자의 비밀 키 값을 얻을 수 있는 키 복구(key escrow) 문제가 나타난다. 이 성질을 제한하기 위해 제안된 여러 기법 중 가장 널리 사용되는 것으로는 다수의 KGC들이 threshold 기법을 이용하여 사용자의 개인키를 발행해 주는 방법이 있으나, 이것은 모든 KGC들이 개인의 신원을 각각 확인해야되는 비효율성이 있다. AISW`04에서 Lee등은, 하나의 KGC에서 요청자의 신원을 확인하며 다른 신뢰기관들은 개인키 보안을 협조해 주는 방식으로 개인키를 발행하고 발행한 개인키는 은닉방법에 의해 안전하게 전송할 수 있는 장정을 가진 키 발급 기법을 제안하였다. 그러나 그들의 방법은 키 복구 권한 제한 부분이 취약하여 또한 서비스 거부 공격에 안전하지 못한 단점을 갖고 있는데 본 논문에서는 이러한 취약성을 분석하며 이를 보완하여 키 복구 권한을 제한하면서 동시에 서비스 거부 공격에도 안전한 개선된 키 발행 기법을 제안한다.

The remote healthcare monitoring system enables a doctor to diagnose and monitor patient's health problem from a distance. Previous researches have focused on key establishment method between a patient and a particular doctor to solve personal health information disclosure problem in data transmission process. However, when considering a misdiagnosis of doctor, the result of a diagnosis by a many doctors is more reliable. In previous work, in order to select multiple doctors, patient should generate shared key for each chosen doctor and perform many times encryptions. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a secure data transmission protocol for receiving diagnosis from multiple doctors using identity-based proxy re-encryption scheme. In proposed protocol, a patient don't need key management work for session key. Also, monitoring server performs re-encryption process on behalf of patient. So, we can reduce computational burden of patient in previous work.

With the recent increase in interest in metaverse in which virtual and physical spaces are digitally fused, many activities in physical spaces are expected to take place in web-based virtual spaces. Therefore, there is a need for research on a self-sovereign identity system that can secure privacy and mutual trust in a DID(decentralized identifier)-based virtual space environment. We, in this paper, developed and validated a reliable communication method consisting of DIDComm messages, a procedure for generating distributed identifiers, asymmetric keys, and DID documents based on Hyperledger Indy and DIDComm open sources. The developed communication method can be applied to verify each other by exchanging additional information and verifiable credentials for trust among communication participants.

The main obstacle hindering the wide deployment of identity-based cryptosystem is that the entity responsible for creating the private key has too much power. As a result, private keys are no longer private. One obvious solution to this problem is to apply the threshold technique. However, this increases the authentication computation, and communication cost during the key issuing phase. In this paper, we propose a new effi ient model for issuing multiple private keys in identity-based encryption schemes based on the Weil pairing that also alleviates the key escrow problem. In our system, the private key of a user is divided into two components, KGK (Key Description Key) and KUD(Key Usage Desscriptor), which are issued separately by different parties. The KGK is issued in a threshold manner by KIC (Key Issuing Center), whereas the KW is issued by a single authority called KUM (Key Usage Manager). Changing KW results in a different private key. As a result, a user can efficiently obtain a new private key by interacting with KUM. We can also adapt Gentry's time-slot based private key revocation approach to our scheme more efficiently than others. We also show the security of the system and its efficiency by analyzing the existing systems.

Identity Privacy issues such as exposures of IMSIs(International Mobile Subscriber Identities) in access network have been consistently raised throughout GSM, UMTS, LTE in 3GPP. The 3GPP specification uses temporary identities instead of IMSI to ensure anonymity of the user. Even if temporary identities are disclosed, Identity Privacy may be maintained at a safe level by security policies such as no linkability and periodic update. But in case of IMSI, it cannot be changed even though it is exposed. There still exist some situations that IMSI is used in clear text for the authentication. Therefore, a protective mechanism for the identity confidentiality is needed. In this paper we propose a protocol based on IBE(Identity-based Encryption) to protect permanent identities in access network. By simplifying the scheme, this protocol has minimized the system impact on current 3GPP environment. And this scheme can be applied to all kind of permanent identities and 3GPP AKA(Authentication and Key Agreement) protocols in access network.

PKI(Public Key Infrastructure)기반의 발전으로 인터넷뱅킹, 증권거래시스템, 전자메일, 전자입찰, 전자민원 등 신원확인이 요구되는 어플리케이션에 전자서명과 암호가 적용되고 있다. 각 어플리케이션은 라이브러리를 호출하여 전자서명과 검증, 암호와 복호를 수행한다. PKI기반의 어플리케이션 개발자는 상이한 인증, 암호API(Application Programming Interface)를 호출해야 하며, 이는 프로그램의 복잡도를 증가시킨다. 개발언어와 환경에 따라서 상의한 라이브러리를 사용해야 한다. 제안하는 PKI 에이전트는 개발언어와 어플리케이션에 독립적으로 인증, 암호기능을 수행하고 견과만을 리턴한다. 따라서 어플리케이션은 인증과 암호가 필요한 시점에 검증 에이전트를 호출하게 됨으로써 프로그램의 복잡도를 줄이고 어플리케이션의 안정성을 향상시킨다.
