Certificateless public key cryptography (CL-PKC) is a useful method in order to solve the problems of traditional public key infrastructure (i.e., large amount of computation, storage and communication costs for managing certificates) and ID-based public key cryptography (i.e., key escrow problem), simultaneously. A signcryption scheme is an important primitive in cryptographic protocols which ...

General cryptographic schemes are presented where keys can be one-time or ephemeral. Processes for key exchange are derived. Public key cryptographic schemes based on the new systems are established. Authentication and signature schemes are easy to implement. The schemes may be integrated with error-correcting coding schemes so that encryption/coding and decryption/decoding may be done simultan...

Remote user authentication based on passwords over untrusted networks is the conventional method of authentication in the Internet and mobile communication environment. Typical secure remote user access solutions rely on pre-established secure cryptographic keys, publickey infrastructure, or secure hardware. In this paper, we present secure password-based protocols for remote user authenticatio...
