A Survey on Certificateless Encryption Techniques
نویسنده
چکیده
Certificateless public key encryption is an advanced version of identity-based and public key encryption techniques. It eliminates the inherent key escrow and other key management issues in both techniques, e.g., it does not need any public key infrastructure or digital certificates. This paper presents a survey of the certificateless public key encryption schemes that have been proposed to improve efficiency and security. We examine the construction, infrastructure, and security models to compare published schemes and their security levels. Analyses and comparisons show that many of the different schemes are based on public key infrastructures and/or are identity based. Analyses and comparison results also show that some schemes have correct generally inclusive security concepts, while others are comparatively insecure and inefficient.

A Novel Approach on Certificateless Encryption Schemes
Security remains as a big challenge as there are many advancements as well as applications being proposed in the areas wireless adhoc networks and cloud computing. The modern field of cryptography is divided into two main areas based on the basic encryption mechanism as symmetric key cryptography and Public-key cryptography. Symmetric-key cryptosystems use the same key for encryption and decryp...
متن کاملOn Proofs of Security for Certificateless Cryptosystems
Certificateless public-key encryption has recently been proposed as an attractive alternative to certificate-based and identity-based encryption schemes. The attraction of certificateless PKE is that it combines the implicit public key authentication of an identity-based scheme with the escrow-free property of a certificate-based scheme. However, all the certificateless schemes that have been t...
متن کاملChosen-Ciphertext Secure Certificateless Proxy Re-Encryption
In this paper we introduce the notion of certificateless proxy re-encryption and also give precise definitions for secure certificateless proxy re-encryption schemes. We present a concrete scheme based on bilinear pairing, which enjoys the advantages of certificateless public key cryptography while providing the functionalities of proxy re-encryption. Moreover, the proposed scheme is unidirecti...
متن کاملToward Efficient Certificateless Signcryption from (and without) Bilinear Pairings
In this paper we describe how to construct an efficient certificateless signcryption scheme. Contrary to the usual paradigm of converting identitybased encryption and signature schemes into a combined certificateless protocol, we adopt the approach of extending a conventional signcryption method with a certificateless key validation mechanism, resorting to the underlying identity-based techniqu...
متن کاملExtensions of Public-Key, Identity-Based and Certificateless Encryption Schemes
In this work, we first study extensions and applications of the identity-based encryption (IBE) primitive, focusing on generic constructions. We first define what is meant by an identity-based key encapsulation mechanism before extending it to the multi-recipient setting. We then propose an efficient multi-recipient scheme based on bilinear maps and then move on to investigate the properties of...
