Security Analysis of Two Signcryption Schemes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Signcryption is a new cryptographic primitive that performs signing and encryption simultaneously, at a cost significantly lower than that required by the traditional signature-then-encryption approach. In this paper, we present a security analysis of two such schemes: the HuangChang convertible signcryption scheme [12], and the Kwak-Moon group signcryption scheme [13]. Our results show that both schemes are insecure. Specifically, the Huang-Chang scheme fails to provide confidentiality, while the Kwak-Moon scheme does not satisfy the properties of unforgeability, coalition-resistance, and traceability.

Improvements and generalisations of signcryption schemes
In this work, we study the cryptographic primitive: signcryption, which combines the functionalities of digital signatures and public-key encryption. We first propose two generic transforms from meta-ElGamal signature schemes to signcryption schemes. These constructions can be thought of as generalisations of the signcryption schemes by Zheng and Gamage et al. Our results show that a large clas...
متن کاملEfficient and Forward-Secure Identity-Based Signcryption
Several signcryption schemes proposed in the literature are known to lack semantic security, and semantically secure signcryption schemes tend to be more computationally expensive. In fact, devising an efficient signcryption scheme providing both public verifiability and forward security was until now an open problem. In this paper, we show how a particular kind of signcryption scheme may becom...
متن کاملDescription of Provably Secure Signcryption Schemes
In this report we provide a detailed description of four signcryption schemes all of which have been proven secure. The first two of the schemes are based on discrete logarithm on finite fields and the other two schemes are based on elliptic curves. We also discuss issues on the implementation of signcryption schemes.
متن کاملOn the Security of ID Based Signcryption Schemes
A signcryption scheme is secure only if it satisfies both the confidentiality and the unforgeability properties. All the ID based signcryption schemes presented in the standard model till now do not have either the confidentiality or the unforgeability or both of these properties. Cryptanalysis of some of the schemes have been proposed already. In this work, we present the security attack on ‘S...
متن کاملHybrid Signcryption Schemes with Insider Security ( Extended Abstract )
The question of constructing a hybrid signcryption scheme with outside security was considered by Dent [7]. That paper also demonstrated that the basic hybrid construction formalised by Cramer and Shoup [5, 9] is incapable of producing a signcryption scheme with insider security. This paper provides a paradigm for constructing signcryption schemes with insider security based on the ideas of hyb...
