SUMMARYCertificate-based signature computation is often performed on insecure devices where the signature key is easy to be exposed. To reduce the influence of key exposure, we introduce key-insulated mechanism into certificate-based cryptography and formalize the notion and security model of the certificate-based key-insulated signature scheme. We then present a certificate-based key-insulated signature scheme, which is proven to be existentially unforgeable against adaptive chosen message attacks in the random oracle model. The proposed scheme has potential applications in trusted computing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
