A New Key-Insulated Signature Scheme
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we propose a new strong and perfectly key-insulated signature scheme, more efficient than previous proposals and whose key length is constant and independent of the number of insulated time periods. Moreover, unlike previous schemes, it becomes forward-secure when all the existing secrets at a given time period are compromised. We also present a variant forwardsecure scheme in which an adversary needs to compromise a user at a second time period before being able to compute future secret keys.

An improved certificateless strong key-insulated signature scheme in the standard model
Exposure of secret keys may be the most devastating attack on a public key cryptographic scheme since such that security is entirely lost. The key-insulated security provides a promising approach to deal with this threat since it can effectively mitigate the damage caused by the secret key exposure. To eliminate the cumbersome certificate management in traditional PKIsupported key-insulated sig...
متن کاملA Hierarchical Key-Insulated Signature Scheme in the CA Trust Model
In key-insulated cryptography, there are many private keys with different indexes and a single, fixed public key. When the trust model includes multiple Certification Authorities (CAs), it can be used to shorten the verification path and mitigate the damage caused by the compromise of a CA’s private key. Existing work requires that the total number of CAs be fixed and that a trusted keystore st...
متن کاملProvably secure certificate-based key-insulated signature scheme
Certificate-based signature computation is often performed on insecure devices where the signature key is easy to be exposed. To reduce the influence of key exposure, we introduce key-insulated mechanism into certificate-based cryptography and formalize the notion and security model of the certificate-based key-insulated signature scheme. We then present a certificate-based key-insulated signat...
متن کاملAttribute-Based Threshold Key-Insulated Signature
Key insulation is an important technique to protect private keys. To deal with the signing key exposure problem in attribute-based signature systems, we propose an attribute-based threshold key-insulated signature (ABTKIS) scheme. It strengthens the security and flexibility of existing attribute-based key-insulated signature schemes. Our scheme is provably secure in the standard model (i.e. wit...
متن کاملIdentity-Based Strong Key-Insulated Signature Without Random Oracles
It is a worthwhile challenge to deal with the key-exposure problem in identity-based signatures. To deal with this problem, this paper adopts Dodis, et al.’s key-insulation mechanism to identity-based signature scenarios, and proposes an identity-based key-insulated signature scheme. The proposed scheme enjoys two attractive features: (i) it is strong key-insulated; (ii) it is provably secure w...
