Abstract

Traditional approaches for communication security do not work well in disruption- and delay-tolerant networks (DTNs). Recently, the use of identity-based cryptography (IBC) has been proposed as one way to help solve some of the DTN security issues. We analyze the applicability of IBC in this context and conclude that for authentication and integrity, IBC has no significant advantage over traditional cryptography, but it can indeed enable better ways of providing confidentiality. Additionally, we show a way of bootstrapping the needed security associations for IBC use from an existing authentication infrastructure.

Identity-Based signcryption from identity-based cryptography
WISA'11: Proceedings of the 12th international conference on Information Security Applications

A signcryption scheme encrypts and signs data in a single operation which is more efficient than using an encryption scheme combined with a signature scheme. Identity-based cryptography (IBC) does not require users to pre-compute key pairs and obtain ...
Secure universal designated verifier identity-based signcryption

In 2003, Steinfeld et al. introduced the notion of universal designated verifier signature UDVS, which allows a signature holder, who receives a signature from the signer, to convince a designated verifier whether he is possession of a signer's ...
Identity-based strong designated verifier signature revisited

Abstract: Designated verifier signature (DVS) allows the signer to persuade a verifier the validity of a statement but prevent the verifier from transferring the conviction. Strong designated verifier signature (SDVS) is a variant of DVS, which only ...
