  • Key escrow is a default property that is inherent in identity-based cryptography, where a curious private key generator (PKG) can derive a secret value shared by communicating entities in its domain. Therefore, a dishonest PKG can encrypt and decrypt ciphers or can carry out any attack on the communicating parties. Of course, the escrow property is not completely unwanted but is acceptable in other particular applications. On the other hand, in more civil applications, this key escrow property is undesirable and needs to be removed to provide maximum communication privacy. Therefore, this paper presents an escrow-free identity-based key agreement protocol that is also applicable even in a distinct PKG condition that does not use pairings. The proposed protocol has comparable computational and communicational performance to many other protocols with similar security attributes, of which their security is based on costly bilinear pairings. The protocol's notion was inspired by McCullagh et al. and Chen-Kudla, in regard to escrow-free and multi-PKG key agreement ideas. In particular, the scheme captures perfect forward secrecy and key compromise impersonation resilience, which were lacking in McCullagh et al.'s study, as well as all other desirable security attributes, such as known key secrecy, unknown key-share resilience and no-key control. The merit in the proposed protocol is the achievement of all required security requirements with a relatively lower computational overhead than many other protocols because it precludes pairings.

  • There are some problems on the system that uses a password comprising a digital signature to identify the secret key owner under the public key infrastructure. For example, the password can be difficult to remember or easy to be disclosure, and users should make more complex password to protect it. A number of studies have been proceeded in order to overcome these defects using the fingerprint identification technologies, but they need to change the current standard of public key infrastructure. On the suggested private key escrow system, the private key can be withdrawn only through the enrollment and identification of a fingerprint template after it is saved to a reliable third system. Therefore, this new private key escrow system can remove previous inconveniences of managingthe private key on current public key infrastructure, and it exhibited superior results in terms of the evaluation items when compared with the integrated method of the existing fingerprint identification and public key infrastructure.

  • In 1998, A. Young and M. Yung introduced the concept of ARC that conjugates functionalities of a typical PKI with the ability to escrow privte keys of the system users. Also in 1999, P. Paillier and M. Yung proposed a new notion - called SE-PKI -which presents other additional advantages beyond ARC. But SE-PKI system uses only one escrow agent. The storage of users secret information at a single agent can make it significant point of attack and arouse controversy about invasion of privacy. This paper presents SE-PKI key recovery system that multiple escrow agents can participate in it. Also, in our system, escrow agents can\`t recover user\`s ciphertext.

  • Medical information is an important personal information for patients, and it must be protected. In particular, when medical personnel approach electronic medical records, authentication for enhanced security is essential. However, the existing public certificate-based certification model did not reflect the security characteristics of the electronic medical record(EMR) due to problems such as personal key management and authority delegation. In this study, we propose a fingerprint recognition-based authentication model with enhanced security to solve problems in the approach of the existing electronic medical record system. The proposed authentication model is an EMR system based on fingerprint recognition using PEMS (Private-key Escrow Management Server), which is applied with the private key commission protocol and the private key withdrawal protocol, enabling the problem of personal key management and authority delegation to be resolved at source. The performance experiment of the proposed certification model confirmed that the performance time was improved compared to the existing public certificate-based authentication, and the user's convenience was increased by recognizing fingerprints by replacing the electronic signature password.

  • Cryptography techniques can prevent eavesdroppers from maliciously intercepting or modifying sensitive information. however misuses of encryption may cause other problems First if the encryption key is lost or damaged even an authorized access to the original data will be denied. Second criminals can prevent authorized law enforcement officers from examining the necessary information by using the strong encrypted data can provide solutions for the situations. In this paper we propose a new key escrow system based on the ElGamal cryptosystem. Our system provide time-bound eavesdropping under court authorized permission protect from trustee's cheating and prevent user's shadow public key generation.

  • In case certification between user and service provider is achieved, problem that user's identity is revealed is occurring by social issue, so it was presented identity escrow scheme to solve these problem. In identity escrow scheme, the issuer who have correct user's identity transmits securely anonymity authentication information to user, and user achieves authentication phase with service provider keeping oneself anonymity using this. In this paper, we present requirement for security and trusty of identity escrow scheme and propose new mechanism that can security this. Also, propose method that service provider can deliver securely contents to user and propose mechanism that improve that support ky recovery at encryption communication that using secret key that it was generated by key agreement between users.

  • Wireless communications require the cryptography system which satisfies a opposite purpose as safety and efficiency. In this paper we proposed the efficient key distribution system satisfying in wireless communication using escrow in order to satisfy the requirements. We supplemented the key recovery function to prevent side effects of cryptography and it is possible to check verification. Also, transmitted information is a little so that the system is efficient. The proposed key recovery method can be applicable to various application fields.

  • In 2001, Boneh and Franklin proposed Identity-Based Encryption(IBE) that does not require a certificate like Public Key Infrastructure(PKI) by using user's Identity as a public key. However, IBE has a key escrow problem because the Private Key Generator(PKG), who is a trusted authority, generates a secret key of every user. Also, it does not support efficient revocation when the user's secret key is exposed or the system needs to revoke the user. Therefore, in order to use IBE as PKI that currently used, it is necessary to solve the key escrow problem and the revocation problem. In this paper, to solve those two problems, we suggest Accountable Authority Revocable IBE(A-RIBE) based on Accountable Authority IBE that mitigates the key escrow problem and Revocable IBE that solves the revocation problem. Also, we define the security model suitable foe A-RIBE, and analyze the principle of designing A-RIBE according to based A-IBE and RIBE and their advantage and disadvantage.
