Signcryption is a new paradigm in public key cryptography that simultaneously fulfills both the functions of digital signature and public key encryption in a logically single step,...
Digital signature schemes are based on the assumption that the signing key is kept in secret. Ensuring that this assumption holds is one of the most crucial problems for all curre...
Abstract—In this paper, we propose a distributed key management framework based on group signature to provision privacy in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs). Distributed key man...
It is well-known that CA plays the central role in PKI. In this paper we introduce a new component into PKI, DA (decryption authority), which decrypts important and sensitive mess...
