Signcryption is a useful paradigm which simultaneously offers both the functions of encryption and signature in a single logic step. It would be interesting to make signcryption certificateless to ease the heavy burden of certificate management in traditional public key cryptography (PKC) and solve the key escrow problem in Identity-based public key cryptography (ID-PKC). Most certificateless s...

In this work we provide a suite of protocols for group key management based on general semigroup actions. Construction of the key is made in a distributed and collaborative way. We provide security proofs against passive attacks and suitable examples that may enhance both the security level and communication overheads of previous existing protocols.

Designing public key encryption schemes withstanding chosen ciphertext attacks, which is the highest security level for such schemes, is generally perceived as a delicate and intricate task, and for good reason. In the standard model, there are essentially three well-known but quite involved approaches. This state of affairs is to be contrasted with the situation for semantically secure encrypt...

By its very nature, a non-authenticated multi-party key agreement protocol cannot provide participant and message authentication, so it must rely on an authenticated network channel. This paper presents the inability of two famous multi-party key agreement protocols to withstand malicious participant attacks, even though their protocols are based on the authenticated network channel. This attac...

Nowadays, malicious URLs are the common threat to the businesses, social networks, net-banking etc. Existing approaches have focused on binary detection i.e. either the URL is malicious or benign. Very few literature is found which focused on the detection of malicious URLs and their attack types. Hence, it becomes necessary to know the attack type and adopt an effective countermeasure. This pa...

In this manuscript, two key agreement protocols which are resistant to a denial-of-service attack are constructed from a key agreement protocol in [9] provably secure against passive and active attacks. The denial-of-service attack considered is the resource-exhaustion attack on a responder. By the resource-exhaustion attack, a malicious initiator executes a key agreement protocol simultaneousl...

he vehicular adhoc network is the decentralized type of network. The vehicle nodes can join or leave the network when they want. In the such type of network security, routing and quality of service are the three major issues of the network. In the network malicious node is present which is responsible to trigger various types of active and passive attacks. The Sybil attack is the active types o...

-The effort of this article is regarding to detect jamming attacks in wireless networks. The Jamming detection and techniques have been proposed in the journalism. They established results by the authors are often CA and JADE as most of the jamming regions are closely marked, and they do not help to clearly differentiate jamming mechanisms. We explore a different jamming attack by discovering t...
