چکیده
Now a days, email has become the most widely communication way in daily life. The main reason for using email is probably because of the convenience and speed in which it can be transmitted irrespective of geographical distances. To improve security and efficiency of email system, most of the email system adopt PKI and IBE encryption schemes. However, both PKI and IBE encryption schemes have their own shortcomings and consequently bring security issues to email systems. This paper proposes a new secure email system based on IBE which combines finger print authentication and proxy service for encryption and decryption.

Direct Chosen-Ciphertext Secure Identity-Based Key Encapsulation Without Random Oracles
We describe a new and practical identity-based key encapsulation mechanism that is secure in the standard model against chosen-ciphertext (CCA2) attacks. Since our construction is direct and not based on hierarchical identity-based encryption, it is more efficient than all previously proposed schemes. Furthermore, we give the first chosen-ciphertext secure identity-based key encapsulation mecha...
متن کاملOn the Risks of IBE
Identity-based encryption (IBE) techniques promise to solve the key distribution problem for secure email. We argue that before this technology is adopted for the important application of secure email it needs to be critically examined in terms of its benefits and risks. To that end our analysis summarizes the unique benefits of IBE and also the significant assumptions and limitations behind it...
متن کاملIdentity-Based Cryptography
We review briefly about identity-based encryption and decryption. In 1984 Adi Shamir requested a solution for a novel public-key encryption scheme, called identity-based encryption. The original motivation for identity-based encryption was to help the deployment of a public-key infrastructure. The idea of an identity-based encryption scheme is that the public key can be any arbitrary string, fo...
متن کاملIdentity Based Encryption through Elliptical Curve Cryptography
Although the Boneh and Franklin identity-based encryption scheme is not overly complex theoretically, the implementation of the system proves to be somewhat difficult. 1 Identity Based Encryption: The difficulty with public key encryption involves distribution of the keys and the assumption that they will always be available (Ding 194). It is not always practical to be connected to a key certif...
متن کاملIdentity-Based Mediated RSA
Identity-based encryption (IBE) [5] and digital signatures are important tools in modern secure communication. In general, identity-based cryptographic methods facilitate easy introduction of public key cryptography by allowing an entity’s public key to be derived from some arbitrary identification value such as an email address or a phone number. Identity-based cryptography greatly reduces the...
