Proxy signature scheme is a cryptographic protocol that an original signer delegates her signing capability to a proxy signer, and then the proxy signer is able to create signatures on behalf of the original signer. In general, there is time-limit for which the signing capability of the proxy signer is valid. One of methods to limit the valid delegation time is to make public delegation information contain the expiration date of the delegation. however, in this method we cannot prevent the proxy signer from signing after the valid delegation is expired because no one knows the exact time when the proxy signer signed a message. The validity of the past legal signatures cannot be preserved in case that the proxy singer´s key is compromised during the delegation period. In this paper, we propose a new scheme, time-limited forward-secure proxy signature protocol, which prevents the proxy singer from signing after the valid delegation is expired and which preserves the validity of the past legal signatures even if the signing key is compromised. The proposed scheme does not require the exact time-information by making an original signer control time-related parameters and satisfies the forward-security property in each update-period of the proxy signing key. The time-period is determined according to the application characteristics or security policies.

Combining the concept of self-certified public key and message recovery, Li-Zhang-Zhu (LZZ) gives the proxy signature scheme with message recovery using self-certified public key. The security of the proposed scheme is based on the discrete logarithm problem (DLP) and one-way hash function (OWHF). Their scheme accomplishes the tasks of public key verification, proxy signature verification, and message recovery in a logically single step. In addition, their scheme satisfies all properties of strong proxy signature and does not use secure channel in the communication between the original signer and the proxy signer. In this paper, it is shown that in their signature scheme a malicious signer can cheat the system authority (SA), by obtaining a proxy signature key without the permission of the original signer. At the same time malicious original signer can also cheat the SA, he can also obtain a proxy signature key without the permission of the proxy signer. An improved signature scheme is being proposed, which involves the remedial measures to get rid of security flaws of the LZZ et al.'s. The security and performance analysis shows that the proposed signature scheme is maintaining higher level of security, with little bit of computational complexity.

According to the development of mobile communications, many people have been offered high qualify of the application services using portable terminals. But those works nay have many vulnerabilities and have the limit of excutaions. Because the application services are provided in mobile network and the performance of portable terminals is lower than that of base stations. To improve these problems, in this paper, we propose one-time proxy signature scheme that can reduce the computational ctsost on a user and prevent a proxy agent's dishonesty. The proposed scheme is based on the KBLK scheme [2] which applied the fail-stop signature scheme [1]. It is constructed that a proxy signer can sign only one message with a proxy key and we add anonimity to it for the user's identity protection in mobile communication like a M-commerce.

In this paper, we are concerned with a digital fingerprinting scheme for multi-purchase where a buyer wants to buy more than a digital content. If we apply previous schemes to multi-purchase protocol, the number of execution of registration step and decryption key should be increased in proportion to that of digital contents to be purchased in order to keep unlinkability. More worse, most of fingerprinting schemes in the literature are based on either secure multi-party computation or general zero-knowledge proofs with very high computational complexity. These high complexities complicate materialization of fingerprinting protocol more and more. In this paper, we propose a multi-purchase fingerprinting scheme with lower computational complexity. In the proposed scheme, a buyer executes just one-time registration step regardless of the number of contents to be purchased. The number of decryption key is constant and independent of the number of contents to be purchased. We can also reduce the computational costs of buyers by introducing a concept of proxy-based fingerprinting protocol.

일회용 대리 서명은 원 서명자를 대신한 정당한 대리 서명자가 메시지에 대한 서명을 오직 한번만 수행하는 기법으로 Huaxiong와 Josef(HJ)는 일방향 해쉬 함수를 이용한 일회용 대리 서명 기법을 제안하였다[1]. HJ 방식은 공개키 암호 방식에 비해 상대적으로 연산속도가 빠르며 효율적이지만, 원 서명자는 사전에 많은 비밀키/공개키 쌍을 생성해야 하고, OT(Oblivious Transfer) 프로토콜[2,3]을 사용함으로 추가적인 계산량의 문제가 발생한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 HJ 방식의 일회용 대리 서명 방식의 문제점을 지적하고, 이를 개선한 효율적 일회용 대리 서명을 제안한다.

모발 에이전트는 고객을 대신하여 호스트에서 고객의 서명을 대리 수행하도록 하는 기능을 가지고 있다. 이러한 모발 에이전트를 이용한 진자상거래 환경에서 안전성을 강화하기 위한 1회용 대리서명 기법이 제안되어 있다[4]. 그러나, 진자상거래와 같은 환경에서 대부분의 사용자가 신분노출을 꺼려하는 익명성이 제공되지 않는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 무선 환경에서의 계산량과 통신량을 줄이면서 익명성을 제공할 수 있는 안전하고 효율적인 1회용 대리서명 기법을 제안한다.
