A Review on Multi Level Identity Based Cryptography for Secure Digital Signature Authentication

Digital Signature authentication is widely used mechanism to transfer sensitive information over networks securely. Digital signature is an electronic signature used for authentication of identity of parties in applications like E-commerce which are frequently involved in monetary transactions. Identity based cryptography can secure digital signature authentication besides ensuring integrity, confidentiality and non-repudiation. It also facilitates to use a publicly known string that represents a party as public key. In fact it is an emerging technique which works in tandem with public key cryptography. It is more useful when compared to classical public key infrastructure. Identity based cryptography also makes key distribution process very simple. Multilevel identity based cryptography can add more layers of security for digital signature authentication. Know how about the features of this modern security mechanism can help secure real world sensitive communications over Internet. In this paper we investigate, and analyze the present state-of-the-art of this emerging approach to public key cryptography. We also evaluate the approaches pertaining to identity based cryptography in terms of robustness, utility and performance.
