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...

This is a survey on application of Identity-Based Cryptography in mobile ad hoc networks. In this survey, we review all papers that are available in the literature on security schemes on mobile ad hoc networks using Identity-Based Cryptography during years 2001 to 2007. To introduce the topic, we first review most important developments on general Identity-Based Cryptography. The survey introdu...

Most of the security architecture uses public key cryptosystems for authentication and to secure the communication that takes place on distributes sites. Now a day’s identity based cryptography and certificate-less public key cryptography are used for enhancing the security. Certificate-less based cryptography has reduced the certificate necessity for key distribution and reducing the problem o...
