Deniable encryption, introduced in 1997 by Canetti, Dwork, Naor, and Ostrovsky, guarantees that the sender or the receiver of a secret message is able to "fake" the message encrypted in a specific ciphertext in the presence of a coercing adversary, without the adversary detecting that he was not given the real message. Sender - side deniable encryption scheme is considered to be one of the classification of deniable encryption technique which defined as resilient against coercing the sender. M. H. Ibrahim presented a sender - side deniable encryption scheme which based on public key and uncertainty of Jacobi Symbol [6]. This scheme has several problems; (1) it can't be able to derive the fake message $M_f$ that belongs to a valid message set, (2) it is not secure against Quadratic Residue Problem (QRP), and (3) the decryption process is very slow because it is based dramatically on square root computation until reach the message as a Quadratic Non Residue (QNR). The first problem is solved by J. Howlader and S. Basu's scheme [7]; they presented a sender side encryption scheme that allows the sender to present a fake message $M_f$ from a valid message set, but it still suffers from the last two mentioned problems. In this paper we present a new sender-side deniable public-key encryption scheme with fast decryption by which the sender is able to lie about the encrypted message to a coercer and hence escape coercion. While the receiver is able to decrypt for the true message, the sender has the ability to open a fake message of his choice to the coercer which, when verified, gives the same ciphertext as the true message. Compared with both Ibrahim's scheme and J. Howlader and S. Basu's scheme, our scheme enjoys nice two features which solved the mentioned problems: (1) It is semantically secure against Quadratic Residue Problem; (2) It is as fast, in the decryption process, as other schemes. Finally, applying the proposed deniable encryption, we originally give a coercion resistant internet voting model without physical assumptions.

Recently, a new type of encryption called Homomorphic Authenticated Encryption (HAE) has been proposed. This combines the functionality of homomorphic encryption with authentication. Several concrete HAE schemes have been developed and security results for homomorphic authenticated encryption, designed by combining a homomorphic message authentication scheme with a homomorphic secret-key encryption, have been partially reported. In this paper, we analyze the security of a design method that combines homomorphic message authentication and homomorphic encryption, with a focus on the encryption after authentication (EAA) type. The results of our analysis show that while non-forgeability and indistinguishability are maintained, strong non-forgeability is not.

With the growing exchange of data between individuals and institutions through various electronic communication, valuable data protection is in high demand to ensure that it is not hacked and that privacy is protected. Many security techniques, such as encryption and steganography, have emerged to prevent security breaches. The purpose of this research is to integrate cryptographic and steganography techniques to secure text message sending. The Rijndael algorithm was used to encrypt the text message, and the Least Significant Bit algorithm was also used to hide the encrypted message in a color image. Experiments on the suggested method have proven that it can improve the security of sent messages due to the human eye's inability to identify the original image from the image after it has been covered, as well as the encryption of the message using a password.

In this paper, we propose an efficient encryption algorithm, without exchanging session keys of a symmetric cryptosystem. The proposed scheme, called as the FAKE(Fast Asymmetric Key Encryption), first scrambles an entire input message and then encrypts small parts of the scrambled message using an asymmetric key encryption scheme. We use the all-or-nothing transform based on the hash function as a scrambling function, which was proposed by Shin, et al. Furthermore, the proposed scheme can additionally provide a digital signature service with only small overhead.

Recently, due to the personal information security act, the encryption of personal information has attracted attention. However, if the conventional encryption scheme is used directly, the database schema must be changed because the conventional encryption scheme does not preserve the format of the data, which can yield a large cost. Therefore, the Format-Preserving Encryption(FPE) has emerged as an important technique that ensures the confidentiality of the data and maintains the database schema naturally. Accordingly, National Institute of Standards and Technology(NIST) recently published the FF1 and FF3 as standards for FPE, although problems have been found in the security of FF1 and FF3 against message recovery attacks. In this paper, we study and analyze FF1 and FF3 as the standards of FPE, as well as the message recovery attack on these schemes. We also study a secure FPE against message recovery attack and verify the efficiency by implementing standardized FF1 and FF3.

The Boneh, Goh, and Nissim (BGN) cryptosytem is the first homomorphic encryption scheme that allows additions and multiplications of plaintexts on encrypted data. BGN-type cryptosystems permit very small plaintext sizes. The best-known approach for the expansion of a message size by t times is one that requires t implementations of an initial scheme; however, such an approach becomes impractical when t is large. In this paper, we present a method of message expansion of BGN-type homomorphic encryption using composite product pairing, which is practical for relatively large t. In addition, we prove that the indistinguishability under chosen plaintext attack security of our construction relies on the decisional Diffie-Hellman assumption for all subgroups of prime order of the underlying composite pairing group.

Key exposure is a major threat to secure cryptosystems. To mitigate the impact caused by key-compromise attacks, a key-insulated cryptographic mechanism is a better alternative. For securing the large message communication in peer-to-peer networks, in this paper, we propose the first novel identity-based key-insulated encryption (IB-KIE) scheme with message linkages. Our scheme has the properties of unbounded time periods and random-access key-updates. In the proposed scheme, each client can periodically update his private key while the corresponding public one remains unchanged. The essential security assumption of our proposed scheme is based on the well-known bilinear Diffie-Hellman problem (BDHP). To ensure the practical feasibility, we also formally prove that the proposed scheme achieves the security requirement of confidentiality against indistinguishability under adaptive chosen-ciphertext attacks (IND-CCA2) in the random oracle model.

In this work we deal with the problem of how to squeeze multiple ciphertexts without losing original message information. To do so, we formalize the notion of decomposability for public-key encryption and investigate why adding decomposability is challenging. We construct an ElGamal encryption scheme over extension fields, and show that it supports the efficient decomposition. We then analyze security of our scheme under the standard DDH assumption, and evaluate the performance of our construction.

E-Commerce, characterized by the exchange of message, occurs between individuals, organizations, or both. A critical promotion factor of e-Commerce is message authentication, the procedure that allows communicating parties to verify the received messages are authentic. It consists of message unforgery, message non-repudiation, message unalteration, and origin authentication. It is possible to perform message authentication by the use of public key encryption. PGP(Pretty Good Privacy) based on X.400 MHS(Message Handling System) and PKC(Public Key Cryptosystem) makes extensive use of message exchange. In this paper we propose, design and implement NMAP(New Message Authentication Protocol), an applied public information based encryption system to solve the message authentication problem inherent in public key encryption such as X.400 protocol and PGP protocol and were to cope with the verification of NMAP using fuzzy integral. This system is expected to be use in the promotion of the e-Commerce and can perform a non-interactive authentication service.

This paper describes construction of web services system for secure message transmission appling web services standards. This system composes single sign on module, SSL module and secure message module. We applied these modules to price comparison site. Single sign on module used SAML standards. This module was designed, in order to provide authentication and authorization. As SSL module processes message encryption among end to end, messages of this system are secure. Secure message module is designed according to WS-Security standards and processes authentication, XML signature and XML encryption.
