This paper is to study a subclass of group-oriented cryptographic scheme: Many-to-one encryption and authentication scheme. The many-to-one encryption and authentication scheme is to solve a practical problem, i.e., the scenario that the number of the receivers is very small compared with the number of the senders and a receiver may serve millions of senders. Compared with the traditional methods, the burdens of the receiver and the KGC are reduced greatly. How to revoke a sender from his receiver's legitimate sender group is also proposed and it is efficient compared with some traditional methods. The proposed scheme is proven in the random oracle models. The computational complexity of our scheme is independent of the number of the senders. At the end of the paper, an example is given to show how to use our scheme in online software registration and update.

We propose an efficient stream authentication scheme using tree authentication. To reduce the computation cost of the sender, we design the authentication tree whose height is very short. We appropriately distribute authentication information over packets so the receiver can verify data with high probability. Moreover, we provide mathematical analysis on the verification probability. For the proposed scheme and previous schemes, we measured the elapsed time for generating authentication information and the proposed scheme has equal to or slightly larger than that of GM's scheme, which has the lowest computation overhead. We performed simulations, which show that the verification probability of the proposed scheme is much higher than that of any other scheme.

In this paper, we proposed hybrid cryptosystem of Diffie-Hellman base in Elliptic Curve, and explained for specific protocol design. The proposed system is efficient hybrid cryptosystems system that offer implicit key authentication about sender and receiver unlike existing hybrid system. This system increased safety generating session key using pseudo-random number generator by cryptographic. Because the system is hybrid system, it is more efficient in calculation amount aspect supplementing merit and fault of public key system and secret key system. Also, the system can not get right plaintext except receiver even if sender's secret key is revealed and impersonation attack is impossible. And the system offers security on known keys without influencing in safety of other session's cryptogram even if session key is exposed. And the system is provided safety about mutual entity authentication and replay attack.

The device to device (D2D) communication is an important and emerging area for future cellular networks. It is concerned about all aspect of secure data transmission between end devices along with originality of the data. In this paradigm, the major concerns are about how keys are delivered between the devices when the devices require the cryptographic keys. Another major concern is how effectively the receiver device verifies the data sent by the sender device which means that the receiver checks the originality of the data. In order to fulfill these requirements, the proposed system able to derive a cryptographic key using a single secret key and these derived keys are securely transmitted to the intended receiver with procedure called mutual authentication. Initially, derived keys are computed by applying robust procedure so that any adversary feel difficulties for cracking the keys. The experimental results shows that both sender and receiver can identify themselves and receiver device will decrypt the data only after verifying the originality of the data. Only the devices which are mutually authenticated each other can interchange the data so that entry of the intruder node at any stage is not possible.

Multicast communication is simultaneous transmission of data to multiple receivers and saves considerably sender resources and network bandwidth. It has high risk to attack using group address and inherent complexity of routing packets to a large group of receivers. It is therefore critical to provide source authentication, allowing a receiver to ensure that received data is authentic. In this paper, we propose the multiple chain authentication scheme for secure and efficient multicast stream. To evaluate the performance of our scheme, we compare our technique with two other previously proposed schemes using simulation results. Our scheme provides non-repudiation of origin, low overhead by amortizing the signature operation over multiple packets, and high packet loss resistance.

In a paper recently published in the International Journal of Parallel, Emergent and Distributed Systems, Biswas et al. proposed a VANET message authentication scheme which uses an identity-based proxy signature mechanism as an underlying primitive. The authors claimed that their scheme supports various security features including the security of proxy-key, the security against message forgery and the security against replay attack, with non-repudiation and resistance to proxy-key compromise. Here, we show how an active attacker, who has no knowledge of an original message sender's private key, can compute the proxy-signature key of the corresponding message sender, meaning that the scheme is completely insecure. We also suggest an enhanced version of the protocol capable of solving such serious security holes.

${\mu}TESLA$ broadcast authentication protocol have been developed by many researchers for providing authenticated broadcasting message between receiver and sender in sensor networks. Those cause authentication delay Tree-based ${\mu}TESLA$[3] solves the problem of authentication delay. But, it has new problems from Merkel hash tree certificate structure. Such as an increase in quantity of data transmission and computation according to the number of sender or parameter of ${\mu}TESLA$ chain. ${\mu}TPCT$-based ${\mu}TESLA$[4] has an advantages, such as a fixed computation cost by altered Low-level Merkel has tree to hash chain. However, it only use the sequential values of Hash chain to authenticate ${\mu}TESLA$ parameters. So, It can't ensure the success of authentication in lossy sensor network. This paper is to propose the improved method for Tree-based ${\mu}TESLA$ by using XOR-based chain. The proposed scheme provide advantages such as a fixed computation cost with ${\mu}$TPCT-based ${\mu}TESLA$ and a message loss-tolerant with Tree-based ${\mu}TESLA$.

Although much research has been conducted in the area of authentication in wireless networks, vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) pose unique challenges, such as real-time constraints, processing limitations, memory constraints, frequently changing senders, requirements for interoperability with existing standards, extensibility and flexibility for future requirements, etc. No currently proposed technique addresses all of the requirements for message and entity authentication in VANETs. After analyzing the requirements for viable VANET message authentication, we propose a modified version of TESLA, TESLA++, which provides the same computationally efficient broadcast authentication as TESLA with reduced memory requirements. To address the range of needs within VANETs we propose a new hybrid authentication mechanism, VANET authentication using signatures and TESLA++ (VAST), that combines the advantages of ECDSA signatures and TESLA++. Elliptic curve digital signature algorithm (ECDSA) signatures provide fast authentication and non-repudiation, but are computationally expensive. TESLA++ prevents memory and computation-based denial of service attacks. We analyze the security of our mechanism and simulate VAST in realistic highway conditions under varying network and vehicular traffic scenarios. Simulation results show that VAST outperforms either signatures or TESLA on its own. Even under heavy loads VAST is able to authenticate 100% of the received messages within 107ms. VANETs use certificates to achieve entity authentication (i.e., validate senders). To reduce certificate bandwidth usage, we use Hu et al.'s strategy of broadcasting certificates at fixed intervals, independent of the arrival of new entities. We propose a new certificate verification strategy that prevents denial of service attacks while requiring zero additional sender overhead. Our analysis shows that these solutions introduce a small delay, but still allow drivers in a worst case scenario over 3 seconds to respond to a dangerous situation.

In this paper, we propose a pipeline network coding (PNC) scheme for efficient data transmission in wireless networks, a data authentication scheme for verifying the integrity of data, and a node authentication scheme for a virtual source. PNC is a technique that improves the overall network performance by relaying data such that the relay node performing network coding transmits to the sender instead. However, network coding is vulnerable to a pollution attack, which is an attack by a malicious attacker to inject modified data into the network. To prevent this, hash-based message authentication code (HMAC) is used. For this purpose, in order to generate a tag used for data authentication, a key must be distributed to the nodes performing authentication. We applied a hash chain to minimize the overhead of key distribution. A null vector is used as the authentication scheme for the virtual source. Finally, we analyze the safety and complexity of the proposed scheme and show he performance through simulation.

Based on the teleportation by quantum walk, a quantum secret sharing scheme with credible authentication is proposed. Using the Hash function and quantum local operation, combined with the two-step quantum walks circuit on the line, the identity authentication and the teleportation of the secret information in distribution phase are realized. Participants collaborate honestly to recover secret information based on particle measurement results, preventing untrusted agents and external attacks from obtaining useful information. Due to the application of quantum walk, the sender does not need to prepare the necessary entangled state in advance, simply encodes the information to be sent in the coin state, and applies the conditional shift operator between the coin space and the position space to produce the entangled state necessary for quantum teleportation. Security analysis shows that the protocol can effectively resist intercept/resend attacks, entanglement attacks, participant attacks, and impersonation attacks. In addition, the quantum walk circuit used has been implemented in many different physical systems and experiments, so this quantum secret sharing scheme may be achievable in the future.
