چکیده

We investigate a number of issues related to the use of multiple trust authorities and multiple identities in the type of identifier based cryptography enabled by the Weil and Tate pairings. An example of such a system is the Boneh and Franklin encryption scheme. We present various applications of multiple trust authorities. In particular we focus on how one can equate a trust authority with a way to add contextual information to an identity.

Identity Based Encryption Using Multiple Trust Authorities in Ad Hoc Networks

Ad hoc networks are becoming more and more popular as the use of mobile computing devices increases. While ad hoc networks have many advantageous properties, they also pose several security challenges which are unique to networks of this kind. One of the main challenges that ad hoc networks have to face is authentication. Authentication is difficult to achieve in ad hoc networks because some ty...

Secure Key Issuing in ID-based Cryptography

ID-based cryptosystems have many advantages over PKI based cryptosystems in key distribution, but they also have an inherent drawback of key escrow problem, i.e. users’ private keys are known to the key generation center (KGC). Therefore secure key issuing (SKI) is an important issue in ID-based cryptography. In multiple authority approach (Boneh & Franklin 2001, Chen et al. 2002), key generati...

Certification of Public Keys within an Identity Based System

We investigate a number of issues related to the use of multiple trust authorities in the type of identifier based cryptography enabled by the Weil and Tate pairings. An example of such a system is the Boneh and Franklin encryption scheme. We examine how to create an efficient hierarchy of multiple trust authorities and then go on to examine some application areas of pairing based cryptography.

Efficient elliptic curve cryptosystems

Elliptic curve cryptosystems (ECC) are new generations of public key cryptosystems that have a smaller key size for the same level of security. The exponentiation on elliptic curve is the most important operation in ECC, so when the ECC is put into practice, the major problem is how to enhance the speed of the exponentiation. It is thus of great interest to develop algorithms for exponentiation...
