Pairing free identity based aggregate signcryption scheme

摘要

The idea of aggregate signcryption was first proposed by Selvi. The aggregation process reduces the communication overhead and hence, it is efficient in low-bandwidth communication networks such as wireless sensor networks and vehicular ad-hoc network VANET. The goal of this study is to propose a secure provably identity based aggregate signcryption scheme ID-ASC without pairings over the elliptic curve cryptography. The proposed scheme is provable secure against confidentiality and unforgeability under random oracle model. Moreover, the proposed ID-ASC reduced the computational complexity when compared to other schemes in literature.
