대리서명은 대리서명자로 하여금 원서명자를 대신해서 서명하도록 하는 암호방식이고, 부분은닉서명은 서명자가 은닉서명을 발행할 때 그가 삽입하기를 원하는 어떠한 정보를 서명에 삽입할 수 있도록 하는 암호방식으로, 부분은닉성과 익명성(또는 불추적성)을 제공하기 때문에 전자상거래에서 전자화폐나 전자투표 등과 같은 사용자의 프라이버시 보호나 보안을 요구하는 응용분야에 중요하게 적용되는 기술이다. 본 논문에서는 bilinear-pairing을 이용한 대리서명 방식과 ID 기반 부분은닉서명 방식을 제안한다. 그리고 투 방식을 결합한 대리부분은닉서명 방식을 제안한다. 제안하는 방식들은 GDH군에서 성립하며 CDHP의 어려움에 기반을 두고 있다. 제안하는 ID 기반 부분은닉서명 방식과 대리부분은닉서명 방식에서 공통정보를 제거하면 두 서명 방식은 각각 토 기반 은닉서명 방식과 대리은닉서명 방식이 된다.

In this paper, we present a new public key encryption scheme with equality test (PKEwET). Compared to other PKEwET schemes, we find that its security can be improved since the proposed scheme is based on non-Abelian factorization problems. To our knowledge, it is the first scheme regarding equality test that can resist quantum algorithm attacks. We show that our scheme is one-way against chosen-ciphertext attacks in the case that the computational Diffie-Hellman problem is hard for a Type-I adversary. It is indistinguishable against chosen-ciphertext attacks in the case that the Decisional Diffie-Hellman problem is hard in the random oracle model for a Type-II adversary. To conclude the paper, we demonstrate that our scheme is more efficient.

In group-oriented applications, it is often required to verify a group of signatures/messages. The individual verification of signed messages in such applications comes at a high cost in terms of computations and time. To improve computational efficiency and to speed up the verification process, a batch verification technique is a good alternative to individual verification. Such a technique is useful in many real-world applications, such as mail servers, e-commerce, banking transactions, and so on. In this work, we propose a new, efficient identity-based signature (IDS) scheme supporting batch verifications. We prove that the proposed IDS scheme and its various types of batch verifications is tightly related to the Computational Diffie.Hellman problem under a random oracle paradigm. We compare the efficiency of the proposed scheme with related schemes that support batch verifications.

이동 통신에서의 보안은 전자 거래가 급증함에 따라 더욱 중요하게 되었다. 무엇보다도 이동 통신 환경에 적합한 인증 및 키 합의는 보안의 필수 조건이다. 이를 위하여 Diffie-Hellman, EIGamal 등의 공개키 암호 시스템을 기반으로 하는 프로토콜이 제안되었으며, 이들은 대수학의 기반 아래 이산 대수 문제 어려움을 바탕으로 이뤄지는데, 연산 속도가 느리고 키 길이가 길어 이동 통신 환경에 적용하기에는 많은 제약점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이동 통신 환경의 제약점인 제한된 자원들, 제한된 계산력, 제한된 대역폭을 극복할 수 있는 NTRU 기반의 인증 및 키 합의 프로토콜을 제안한다. 이는 잘려진 다항식 환(truncated Polynomial ing)에서 작은 수의 덧셈과 쉬프트 연산만 행하기 때문에 속도가 빠르며 키 생성이 용이하고 쉽다. 또한 NTRU 래티스 상에서의 짧은 벡터 찾는 어려운 문제(SVP/CVP)로 인해 보안성이 강하여 안전하다.

본 논문에서는 공통의 키워드들을 포함하는 암호화 문서들을 검색하는 프로토콜에 대해서 연구한다. 공통의 키워드 검색 프로토콜은 자료 공급자 (data supplier), 자료 저장소 (database) 그리고 사용자 (user of database)로 이루어진다. 자료 공급자는 암호화된 문서를 자료 저장소에 저장하게 되고 정당한 사용자는 원하는 키워드들을 질의하여 해당 키워드들이 공통으로 포함된 암호화 문서들을 얻을 수 있다. 최근, 많은 공통의 키워드 검색 프로토콜들이 다양한 환경에서 제안되었다. 하지만, 제안된 프로토콜들은 자료 공급자 및 자료 저장소 관점에서 많은 계산적 비용을 필요로 한다. 더욱이 지금까지 제안된 프로토콜들의 안전성은 랜덤 오라클 (random oracle) 모델에서만 증명되었다. 본 논문에서는 암호화 문서상에서 효율적인 공통의 키워드 검색 프로토콜을 랜덤 오라클 가정 없이 설계한다. 또한 사용자의 자료 저장량 그리고 자료 저장소의 계산량, 통신량 비용이 상수양의 비용을 가진다 제안된 프로토콜의 안전성은 DBDH (Decisional Bilinear Diffie-Hellman) 문제의 어려움에 기반 한다.

Certificate-based cryptography is a useful public key cryptographic primitive that combines the merits of traditional public key cryptography and identity-based cryptography. It not only solves the key escrow problem inherent in identity-based cryptography, but also simplifies the cumbersome certificate management problem in traditional public key cryptography. In this paper, by giving a concrete attack, we first show that the certificate-based encryption scheme without bilinear pairings proposed by Yao et al. does not achieve either the chosen-ciphertext security or the weaker chosen-plaintext security. To overcome the security weakness in Yao et al.'s scheme, we propose an enhanced certificate-based encryption scheme that does not use the bilinear pairings. In the random oracle model, we formally prove it to be chosen-ciphertext secure under the computational Diffie-Hellman assumption. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme enjoys obvious advantage in the computation efficiency compared with the previous certificate-based encryption schemes. Without costly pairing operations, it is suitable to be employed on the computation-limited or power-constrained devices.

Signcryption is a cryptographic primitive that provides authentication (signing) and confidentiality (encrypting) simultaneously at a lower computational cost and communication overhead. With the proposition of certificateless public key cryptography (CLPKC), certificateless signcryption (CLSC) scheme has gradually become a research hotspot and attracted extensive attentions. However, many of previous CLSC schemes are constructed based on time-consuming pairing operation, which is impractical for mobile devices with limited computation ability and battery capacity. Although researchers have proposed pairing-free CLSC schemes to solve the issue of efficiency, many of them are in fact still insecure. Therefore, the challenging problem is to keep the balance between efficiency and security in CLSC schemes. In this paper, several existing CLSC schemes are cryptanalyzed and a new CLSC scheme without pairing based on elliptic curve cryptosystem (ECC) is presented. The proposed CLSC scheme is provably secure against indistinguishability under adaptive chosen-ciphertext attack (IND-CCA2) and existential unforgeability under adaptive chosen-message attack (EUF-CMA) resting on Gap Diffie-Hellman (GDH) assumption and discrete logarithm problem in the random oracle model. Furthermore, the proposed scheme resists the ephemeral secret leakage (ESL) attack, public key replacement (PKR) attack, malicious but passive KGC (MPK) attack, and presents efficient computational overhead compared with the existing related CLSC schemes.

A group key exchange protocol is a cryptographic primitive that describes how a group of parties communicating over a public network can come up with a common secret key. Due to its significance both in network security and cryptography, the design of secure and efficient group key exchange protocols has attracted many researchers' attention over the years. However, despite all the efforts undertaken, there seems to have been no previous systematic look at the growing problem of key exchange over combined wired and wireless networks which consist of both stationary computers with sufficient computational capabilities and mobile devices with relatively restricted computing resources. In this paper, we present the first group key exchange protocol that is specifically designed to be well suited for this rapidly expanding network environment. Our construction meets simplicity, efficiency, and strong notions of security.

In traditional digital signature schemes, certificates signed by a trusted party are required to ensure the authenticity of the public key. In Asiacrypt 2003, the concept of certificateless signature scheme was introduced. The advantage of certificateless public key cryptography successfully eliminates the necessity of certificates in the traditional public key cryptography and simultaneously solves the inherent key escrow problem suffered in identity-based cryptography. Recently, Yap et al. proposed an efficient certificateless signature scheme and claimed that their scheme is existentially unforgeable in the random oracle model. In this paper, we show that the certificateless signature scheme proposed by Yap et al. is insecure against public key replacement attacks. Furthermore, we propose an improved certificateless signature scheme, which is existentially unforgeable against adaptive chosen message attacks under the computational Diffie-Hellman assumption in the random oracle model and provide the security proof of the proposed scheme.

Conjunctive keyword search encryption is an important technique for protecting sensitive data that is outsourced to cloud servers. However, the process of searching outsourced data may facilitate the leakage of sensitive data. Thus, an efficient data search approach with high security is critical. To solve this problem, an efficient conjunctive keyword search scheme based on ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption is proposed for cloud storage environment. This paper proposes an efficient mechanism for removing the secure channel and resisting off-line keyword-guessing attacks. The storage overhead and the computational complexity are regardless of the number of keywords. This scheme is proved adaptively secure based on the decisional bilinear Diffie-Hellman assumption in the standard model. Finally, the results of theoretical analysis and experimental simulation show that the proposed scheme has advantages in security, storage overhead and efficiency, and it is more suitable for practical applications.
