Blind signature is such a signature scheme that conceals the contents of signature itself and who is the user of the signature make user's anonymity possible. For this reason, they are used in security services such as electronic cashes and electronic votes in which the behavior of actor should not be exposed. In this paper we propose an ID-based blind signature scheme from Gap Diffie-Hellman group. Its security is based on the hardness of Computational Diffie-Hellman Problem. Proposed scheme efficiently improve against existing blind signature scheme by using two-pass protocol between two users and by reducing computation process. Therefore it can be used efficiently in wireless PKI environment.

Partially blind signature scheme allows the signer to insert non-removable common information into his blind signature. Blind signatures providing with both users privacy and data authenticity are one of key parts of information systems, such anonymous electronic cash and electronic voting as typical examples. Partially blind signature, with which all expired e-cash but for still-alive can be removed from the banks database, copes well with the problem of unlimited growth of the banks' database in an electronic cash system. In this paper we propose an efficient ID-based partially blind signature scheme using the Weil-pairing on Gap Diffie-Hellman group. The security of our scheme relies on the hardness of Computational Diffie-Hellman Problem. The proposed scheme provides higher efficiency than existing partially blind signature schemes by using three-pass protocol between two participants, the signer and requesters also by reducing the computation load. Thus it can be efficiently used in wireless environment.

Electronic cash is used as a payment tool for contents purchase in mobile electronic commerce environment. In order to protect customer`s privacy, we use blind signature. Blind signature has an anonymity property since it does not allow connection between customer`s ID and customer`s message. In this paper, we propose an blind signature scheme using elliptic curve algorithm based on Cap Diffie-Hellman Problem. Proposed scheme efficiently improved against existing blind signature scheme by reducing communication and computation time of the process.

Proxy signature scheme allow a designated proxy person to sign a message on behalf of the original signer. Partially blind signature scheme allows the signer to insert non-removable common information into his blind signature. Proxy signature and partially blind signature are very important technologies in secure e-commerce. In this paper we propose new proxy signature scheme and ID-based partially blind signature scheme using bilinear pairing. further combining them, we propose a proxy partially blind signature scheme. The security of our schemes relies on the hardness of Computational Diffie-Hellman Problem. If we removing common information form propose ID-based partially blind signature scheme and proxy partially blind signature scheme, then they become variants of ID-based blind signature scheme and proxy blind signature scheme of Zhangs respectively.

In this paper we propose the efficient blind signature scheme based on Gap problem. We can find the short signature schemes for Weil pairing as the example of signature schemes based on Gap problem. Since short signature scheme is based on elliptic curve, our proposed signature scheme can be used in wireless PKI environment.

There is an intuitive connection between signcryption and key agreement. Such a connector may lead to a novel way to construct authenticated and efficient group key agreement protocols. In this paper, we present a primary approach for constructing an authenticated group key agreement protocol from signcryption. This approach introduces desired properties to group key agreement. What this means is that the signcryption gives assurance to a sender that the key is available only to the recipient, and assurance to the recipient that the key indeed comes from the sender. Following the generic construction, we instantiate a distributed two-round group key agreement protocol based on signcryption scheme given by Dent [8]. We also show that this concrete protocol is secure in the outsider unforgeability notion and the outsider confidentiality notion assuming hardness of the Gap Diffie-Hellman problem.

Signcryption is a cryptographic primitive that provides authentication (signing) and confidentiality (encrypting) simultaneously at a lower computational cost and communication overhead. With the proposition of certificateless public key cryptography (CLPKC), certificateless signcryption (CLSC) scheme has gradually become a research hotspot and attracted extensive attentions. However, many of previous CLSC schemes are constructed based on time-consuming pairing operation, which is impractical for mobile devices with limited computation ability and battery capacity. Although researchers have proposed pairing-free CLSC schemes to solve the issue of efficiency, many of them are in fact still insecure. Therefore, the challenging problem is to keep the balance between efficiency and security in CLSC schemes. In this paper, several existing CLSC schemes are cryptanalyzed and a new CLSC scheme without pairing based on elliptic curve cryptosystem (ECC) is presented. The proposed CLSC scheme is provably secure against indistinguishability under adaptive chosen-ciphertext attack (IND-CCA2) and existential unforgeability under adaptive chosen-message attack (EUF-CMA) resting on Gap Diffie-Hellman (GDH) assumption and discrete logarithm problem in the random oracle model. Furthermore, the proposed scheme resists the ephemeral secret leakage (ESL) attack, public key replacement (PKR) attack, malicious but passive KGC (MPK) attack, and presents efficient computational overhead compared with the existing related CLSC schemes.
