Proxy signature scheme based on delegation of warrant is studied in these days. Proxy signature is a signature scheme that the original signer delegates his signing warrant to the proxy signer, and the proxy signer creates a signature on behalf of the original signer. For using this scheme, the security for Protecting from the forgeability or misuse is necessary. There are several security requirements for using the proxy signature schemes. In this paper we suggest the proxy-register protocol scheme that original signer registers to the verifier about the proxy related information. In our scheme, verifier verifies the signature that original signer creates about the proxy information and sets the warrant of proxy signer, validity period for proxy signature and some limitation. Finally, we will show the advantages of our suggestion by comparing with the previous proxy signature schemes.

Currently, the X.509 proxy certificate is widely used to delegate an entity's right to another entity in the computational grid environment. However it has two drawbacks: the potential security threat caused by intraceability of a delegation chain and the inefficiency caused by an interactive communication between the right grantor and the right grantee on the delegation protocol. To address these problems for computational grids, we propose a new delegation protocol without additional cost. We use an ID-based key generation technique to generate a proxy private key which is a means to exercise the delegated signing right. By applying the ID-based key generation technique, the proposed protocol has the delegation traceability and the non-interactive delegation property. Since the right delegation occurs massively in the computational grid environment, our protocol can contribute the security enhancement by providing the delegation traceability and the efficiency enhancement by reducing the inter-domain communication cost.

Forward-secure signature is a specific type of signature, which can mitigate the damage caused by the signing key exposure. Most of the existing forward-secure (identity-based) signature schemes can update users' secret keys at each time period, achieve the existential unforgeability, and resist against classical computer attacks. In this paper, we first revisit the framework of forward-secure identity-based signatures, and aim at supporting flexible key update at multi time period. Then we propose a post-quantum forward-secure identity-based signature scheme from lattices and use the basis delegation technique to provide flexible key update. Finally, we prove that the proposed scheme is strongly unforgeable under the short integer solution (SIS) hardness assumption in the random oracle model.

Most of the provably-secure proxy signature schemes rely on the average-case hardness problems such as the integer factorization problems and the discrete logarithm problems. Therefore, those schemes are insecure to quantum analysis algorithms, since there exist quantum algorithms efficiently solving the factorization and logarithm problems. To make secure proxy signature schemes against quantum analysis, some lattice-based proxy signature schemes are suggested. However, none of the suggested lattice-based proxy signature schemes is proxy-protected in the adaptive security model. In the paper, we propose a provably-secure ID-based proxy signature scheme based on the lattice problems. Our scheme is proxy-protected in the adaptive security model.

Proxy signature is the signature that an original signer delegates his signing capability to a proxy signer and the proxy signer creates a signature on behalf of the original signer. The basic methodology of proxy signature is that the original signer creates a signature on delegation information and gives it secretly to the proxy signer, and the proxy signer uses it as a proxy private key or uses it to generate a proxy private key. In this paper, we suggest the proxy-register protocol that the original signer register to the verifier about the proxy related information, and verifier sets the warrant of proxy signer, validity period for proxy signature and some limitation.

Proxy signature schemes are configured as proxy signers on behalf of their original signers can be allowed to sign messages. Basic security requirements of proxy signature schemes include the strong unforgeability and the verifiability of delegation. So far, a variety of proxy signature schemes that proved on individual basic security terms but not proved on compounded security terms are proposed. Especially the proposed proxy signature schemes based on RSA problem are proved vulnerable to an attacker with his own private key in terms of the impersonating attack. A unauthorized attacker can generate the proxy signature without the appointee's consent or authorization. In this paper, we propose a proxy signature scheme based on RSA problems and warrants that can be proved the security against the impersonating attack. The proposed proxy signature scheme is analyzed on the safety and compared in terms of efficiency with other proxy signature schemes.

Proxy signature schemes based on delegation of warrant are frequently studied in these days. Proxy signatures are signature schemes that an original signer delegates his signing capability to a proxy signer, and the proxy signer creates a signature on behalf of the original signer. Proxy signatures are fundamentally accomplished by the process that original signer creates the signature about the proxy information and transmits to the proxy signer for using by the proxy key. There are several security requirements for using the proxy signature schemes. In this paper we suggest the proxy-register protocol scheme that original signer registers to the verifier about the proxy related information. In our scheme, verifier verifies the signature that original signer creates about the proxy information and sets the warrant of proxy signer, validity period for proxy signature and some limitation. At the same time, all security requirements that were mentioned in previous schemes are satisfied. We also show the advantages of our suggestion by comparing with the previous proxy signature schemes.

Nowadays, Computing environment is changing to ubiquitous. In such ubiquitous computing environments, entities expect to access resources and services at any time from anywhere. Therefore, tile wily how to establish trust relationship among previously unknown devices or resources is needed under such environments. In this paper, we firstly review a model to delegate the trust to communicating entities in ubiquitous environment and its security problems(e.g., malicious right-delegation and revocation of right-delegation). Then, we design a new model for secure delegation over communication entities which is based on two-party signature scheme, and implement it.

Proxy signature schemes based on delegation of warrant are frequently studied in these days. Proxy signature schemes that used in these days have some problems about the security. Especially, it is difficult to prevent misuse of certification and private key. In this thesis, we propose the more stronger security structure by turning the point from original signer with proxy signer to original signer with verifier, and the proposed protocol is more stronger than previous scheme and can be applied to various PKI based application.

A fuzzy identity based signature (FIBS) scheme allows a signer with identity ${\omega}$ to generate a signature which could be verified under identity ${\omega}^{\prime}$ if and only if ${\omega}$ and ${\omega}^{\prime}$ are within a certain distance of each other as judged by some metric. In this paper, we propose an efficient FIBS scheme from lattice assumption, which can resist quantum-computer attacks. Without using the Bonsai Tree technique, we utilize the lattice basis delegation technique to generate the private key, which has the advantage of keeping the lattice dimension invariant. We also prove that our proposed scheme is existentially unforgeable under an adaptive chosen message and identity attack in the random oracle model. Compared with existing scheme, our proposed scheme is much more efficient, especially in terms of communication overhead. Since our FIBS scheme possesses similar error-tolerance property, it can be well applied in post-quantum communication biometric authentication environments, where biometric identifiers such as fingerprints, voice, iris and gait are used in human identification.
