ID-based Key-insulated Authenticated Key Agreement Protocol

The basic idea behind an ID-based cryptosystem is that end user's public key can be determined by his identity information.Comparing with the traditional certificate-based cryptography,identity-based cryptography can eliminate much of the overhead associated with the deployment and management of certificate.However,exposure of private keys can be the most devastating attack on a public key based cryptosystem since such that all security guarantees are lost.In this paper,an ID-based authenticated key agreement protocol was presented.For solving the problem of key exposure of the basic scheme,the technique of key insulation was applied and a key insulated version is developed.

对两种代理盲签名体制的密码学分析

代理盲签名结合了代理签名与盲签名的优点，而多级代理签名实现了签名权利在许可范围内逐级向下代理的要求。利用椭圆曲线上的双线性对，陈玲玲等人提出了一种基于身份的代理盲签名方案，胡江红等人提出了一种基于身份的多级强代理盲签名方案。给出了这两个方案的密码学分析，指出在陈玲玲等人的方案中，代理签名人可以利用授权证书计算得到原始签名人的私钥，从而可直接伪造原始签名人的签名或授权，同时指出所提的两个方案也无法满足不可追踪性．代理签名人可以将自己在签名协议中的签名和签名的消息联系起来从而跟踪消息的拥有者，从而证明了这两个方案是不安全的。

Simple three-party password authenticated key exchange protocol

Three-party password authenticated key exchange (3PAKE) protocol plays a significant role in the history of secure communication area in which two clients agree a robust session key in an authentic manner based on passwords. In recent years, researchers focused on developing simple 3PAKE (S-3PAKE) protocol to gain system efficiency while preserving security robustness for the system. In this study, we first demonstrate how an undetectable on-line dictionary attack can be successfully applied over three existing S-3PAKE schemes. An error correction code (ECC) based S-3PAKE protocol is then introduced to eliminate the identified authentication weakness.

An improved ring signature scheme without trusted key generation center for wireless sensor network

Security of wireless sensor network (WSN) is a considerable challenge, because of limitation in energy, communication bandwidth and storage. ID-based cryptosystem without checking and storing certificate is a suitable way used in WSN. But key escrow is an inherent disadvantage for traditional ID-based cryptosystem, i.e., the dishonest key generation center (KGC) can forge the signature of any node and on the other hand the node can deny the signature actually signed by him/herself. To solving this problem, we propose an ID-based ring signature scheme without trusted KGC. We also present the accurate secure proof to prove that our scheme is secure against existential forgery on adaptively chosen message and ID attacks assuming the complexity of computational Diffie-Hellman (CDH) problem. Compared with other ring signature schemes, we think proposed scheme is more efficient.

具有可追查性的抗合谋攻击(t,n)门限签名方案

在分析王斌和李建华的无可信中心门限签名方案(王-李方案)以及X ie-Yu改进方案安全缺陷的基础上,提出了一种新的具有可追查性的抗合谋攻击(t,n)门限签名方案;对新方案的安全性进行了分析,并与现有方案的效率进行了比较.结果表明:该方案不仅能够从根本上抵抗合谋攻击和伪造签名攻击,而且在保证匿名性的前提下,能够真正实现签名成员身份的可追查性,同时通过构造安全的分布式密钥生成协议保证群私钥的不可知性,因此比现有方案具有更高的安全性.此外,新方案的计算量和通信量与王-李方案接近,但优于X ie-Yu方案.     

Comments on enhanced yoking proof protocols for radio frequency identification tags and tag groups

A radio frequency identification (RFID) yoking proof scheme can generate proofs of simultaneous presence of two tags in the range of a specified reader so that an off-line verifier can verify the proofs later. This proof has found several interesting applications. However, many existing RFID yoking schemes are vulnerable to replay attacks. To overcome the weaknesses, Cho et al. proposed a new RFID yoking proof protocol and a new grouping protocol. Unfortunately, Cho et al.’s schemes are still vulnerable to replay attacks. In this paper, in addition to demonstrating weaknesses, we further discuss the rationale behind these weaknesses to provide a guide line for designing secure RFID yoking schemes. Based on the guide line, we propose a new RFID yoking scheme and a new RFID grouping scheme. Performance evaluation shows that our scheme outperforms its counterparts.

Can the Polynomial Based Key Predistribution Scheme Be Used Many Times in One Wireless Sensor Network Key Establishment Protocol？

Key establishment is the basic step for the wireless sensor network (WSN) security. The polynomial based key predistribution scheme of Blom and Blundo et al. has been the basic ingredient for the key establishment for WSNs. It is tempting to use many random and different instances of polynomial based key predistribution scheme for various parts of the WSN to enhance the efficiency of WSN key establishment protocols. This paper indicates that it is not secured in general to use many instances of Blom-Blundo et al. polynomial based key predistribution scheme in a WSN key establishment protocol. Thus the previously constructed group-based type WSN key predistribution schemes using polynomial based key predistribution scheme are insecure. We propose new generalized Blom-Blundo et al. key predistribution schemes. These new generalized Blom-Blundo et al. key predistribution schemes can be used many times in one WSN key establishment protocol with only a small increase of cost. The application to group-based WSN key predistribution schemes is given.     

Some remarks on the TKIP key mixing function of IEEE 802.11i

Temporal key integrity protocol (TKIP) is a sub-protocol of IEEE 802.11i. TKIP remedies some security flaws in wired equivalent privacy (WEP) protocol. TKIP adds four new algorithms to WEP: a message integrity code (MIC) called Michael, an initialization vector (IV) sequencing discipline, a key mixing function and a re-keying mechanism. The key mixing function, also called temporal key hash, de-correlates the IVs from weak keys. Some cryptographic properties of the substitution box (S-box) used in the key mixing function are investigated in this paper, such as regularity, avalanche effect, differ uniform and linear structure. Moen et al pointed out that there existed a temporal key recovery attack in TKIP key mixing function. In this paper a method is proposed to defend against the attack, and the resulting effect on performance is discussed.     

Chosen ciphertext secure fuzzy identity based encryption without ROM

Two new constructions of chosen-ciphertext secure fuzzy identity-based encryption(fuzzy-IBE) schemes without random oracle are proposed.The first scheme combines the modification of chosen-plaintext secure Sahai and Waters'"large universe"construction and authenticated symmetric encryption, and uses consistency checking to handle with ill-formed ciphertexts to achieve chosen-ciphertext security in the selective ID model.The second scheme improves the effciency of first scheme by eliminating consistency checking.This improved scheme is more effcient than existing chosen-ciphertext secure fuzzy-IBE scheme in the standard model.

On constructing certificateless proxy signature from certificateless signature

In proxy signature schemes, an original signer A delegates its signing capability to a proxy signer B, in such a way that B can sign message on behalf of A.The recipient of the final message verifies at the same time that B computes the signature and that A has delegated its signing capability to B.Recently many identity-based(ID-based) proxy signature schemes have been proposed, however, the problem of key escrow is inherent in this setting.Certificateless cryptography can overcome the key escrow problem.In this paper, we present a general security model for certificateless proxy signature scheme.Then, we give a method to construct a secure certificateless proxy scheme from a secure certificateless signature scheme, and prove that the security of the construction can be reduced to the security of the original certificateless signature scheme.     

Two Modifications on IKE Protocol with Pre-shared Key Authentication

This paper proposed two modifications on IKE protocol with pre-shared key authentication. The first modification can improve its immunity against DDoS attack by authenticating the initiator before the responder generates the computation-intensive Diffie-Hellman public value. The second modification can improve its efficiency when the attack on messages occurs because it can detect the attack quickly by replacing the centralized authentication in origical IKE protocol with immediate authentication. In addition, the two modifications can be integrated into one protocol compactly.
