Certificate-based cryptography is a new cryptographic paradigm that provides an interesting balance between identity-based cryptography and traditional public key cryptography. It not only simplifies the complicated certificate management problem in traditional public key cryptography, but also eliminates the key escrow problem in identity-based cryptography. As an extension of the signcryption in certificate-based cryptography, certificate-based signcryption provides the functionalities of certificate-based encryption and certificate-based signature simultaneously. However, to the best of our knowledge, all constructions of certificate-based signcryption in the literature so far have to be based on the costly bilinear pairings. In this paper, we propose a certificate-based signcryption scheme that does not depend on the bilinear pairings. The proposed scheme is provably secure in the random oracle model. Due to avoiding the computationally-heavy paring operations, the proposed scheme significantly reduces the cost of computation and outperforms the previous certificate-based signcryption schemes.

To achieve confidentiality, integrity, authentication, and non-repudiation simultaneously, the concept of signcryption was introduced by combining encryption and a signature in a single scheme. Certificate-based encryption schemes are designed to resolve the key escrow problem of identity-based encryption, as well as to simplify the certificate management problem in traditional public key cryptosystems. In this paper, we propose a new certificate-based signcryption scheme that has been proved to be secure against adaptive chosen ciphertext attacks and existentially unforgeable against chosen-message attacks in the random oracle model. Our scheme is not based on pairing and thus is efficient and practical. Furthermore, it allows a signcrypted message to be immediately verified by the public key of the sender. This means that verification and decryption of the signcrypted message are decoupled. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first signcryption scheme without pairing to have this feature.

Signcryption schemes offer the possibility to simultaneously sign and encrypt a message. In order to guarantee the authentication of both signer and receiver in the most efficient way during the signcryption, certificate based solutions have been proposed in literature. We first compare into detail three recently proposed certificate based signcryption systems relying on the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem and without the usage of compute intensive pairing operations. Next, we demonstrate how the performance of these certificate based systems can be improved by using the Elliptic Curve Qu Vanstone (ECQV) implicit certificates. What is more, generalized signcryption schemes are easily derived from these schemes and the anonymity feature of sender and receiver is already inherently included or can be very efficiently obtained without a significant additional cost.

C. Gamage 등은 M. Mambo 의 대리 서명 방시과 Y. Zheng의 signcryption 방식을 이용하여 사용자가 상대 적으로 계산 능력이 뛰어난 서버에 의존하여 암호화 및 서명을 생성할 수 있는 proxy-signcryption 방식을 제안하였다 그러나 그들이 제안한 방식을 실제 응용에 적용할 경우 사용자가 proxy agent를 대신하여 정당한 proxy-signcryption을 생성할 수 있을 뿐만아니라 자신이 전송한 메시지에 대해 부인하는 경우 리를 판단할 수 없으므로 proxy agent를 보호 할 수 없다는 문제점이 있다 따라서 본 논문에서는 대리인 보호형 대리 서명 방식과 N. Asokan 의 S3(Server Supported Signnatures)를 이용하여 proxy agent를 보호할 수 있고 송신자 부인 봉쇄를 제공하여 실제 응용에 적용할 수 있는 proxy-signcryption 방식을 제안하고자 한다. 또한 본 논문에서 제안하는 proxy-signcryption 방식은 한국형 디지털 서명 표준안인 KCDSA(Korean Certificate-based Digital Signature Algorithm)를 이용한다.

The increase of the smartphone users has popularized the mobile payment and the mobile credit card users are rapidly getting increased. The mobile credit cards that currently used provide its users with the service through downloading mobile credit card information into USIM. The mobile credit card saved in USIM has the minimized information for the security and is based on PKI. However certificate-based payment system has a complicated procedure and costs a lot of money to manage the certificates and CRL(Certificate Revocation List). Furthermore, It can be a obstacle to develop local e-commerce in Korea because it is hard for foreigners to use them. We propose the secure and efficient mobile credit card payment protocol based on certificateless signcryption which solve the problem of certificate use.

The signature-then-encryption based on RSA scheme provides forward secrecy, but requires 4 modulo exponentiation operations in total, and the signcryption scheme proposed by Zheng simultaneously fulfills both the functions of digital signature and symmetric key encryption in a logically single step, and with a computational cost significantly smaller than that required by the current standard signature-then-encryption, but it can not provide forward secrecy. In this paper, we propose an enhanced signcryption scheme which can provide forward secrecy with lower computational cost and lower communication overhead comparing with those of the signature-then-encryption based on RSA, and with a similar communication overhead of Zheng's scheme. The proposed scheme can be also easily modified to the direct signature verification scheme by the recipient without using the recipient's private key. Additionally, we suggest a new design protocol with server-supported signatures which solves the CRLs(Certificate Revocation Lists) burden and provides non-repudiation of origin. This protocol with server-supported signatures also can be applied to the original signcryption scheme proposed by Zheng in order to improve security.
