An efficient certificateless public key encryption with equality test toward Internet of Vehicles

Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), an appendage of the Internet of Things (IoT), upgrades conventional industries to intelligent and autonomous industries. It integrates different intelligent terminals, sensors, actuators, mobile devices, cloud computing through wireless communication to enhance operational efficiency and safety. However, it relies on the powerful data processing and unlimited storage capabilities of cloud computing by outsourcing its data and on‐demand services to the cloud server. This introduces privacy and confidentiality issues, and a high cost of data access on IIoT, especially for location bound data retrieval. To enforce confidentiality in IIoT, encryption techniques are being adapted to secure the outsourced data, but not without impeding the data searching operation. Several searchable encryption schemes have been proposed for secure and privacy‐preserving data retrieval in IIoT. However, most of these schemes not only completely relied on the cloud server but also susceptible to inside keyword guessing attack (IKGA). Besides, some of them use high computation intensive cryptography operations that make them computationally intensive for resource‐constrained data users and owners. In this article, we develop a lightweight searchable public‐key encryption scheme. The scheme is provably secure against IKGA. It contains a secure key distribution approach for generating and distributing the symmetric encryption key and allows secure ciphertext data search and retrieval in a multi‐user setting without compromising privacy. Finally, we analyze and evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme by comparing the results with some recent state‐of‐the‐art schemes to quantitatively show the capabilities of the scheme.

“…However, in these schemes, the encryption is conducted under the identical public-key, making it inconvenient for MSNs environments. 21 Due to this limitation, the issuing of PKE was later addressed by Yang et al 17 They introduced a PKE-ET scheme where the equivalence check can be performed directly between two different ciphertexts as well as ciphertexts under the same public key. However, Yang et al's scheme allows users to proceed with the equivalence test on any ciphertexts.…”

An authorized equality test on identity‐based cryptosystem for mobile social networking applications

The widespread adoption of social network applications and smart mobile devices has yielded a massive amount of data transmitted through the networks. Fortunately, social network service providers offer a wide range of storage capacity and data management functionality. Accordingly, the data can be uploaded to the social servers for processing and then accessible elsewhere.Nevertheless, considering the untrusted nature of the social servers, it becomes crucial to protect the data before uploading it to the server. Unfortunately, encryption incurs another severe problem in providing search functionality on encrypted data stored on the server. In addition, most of the existing solutions are inefficient to deploy on mobile devices due to the limited resources and computing capabilities. To address this issue, we propose an authorized equality test on identity-based cryptosystem (AET-IBC) scheme in this article. The scheme allows the server to test if two different ciphertexts encapsulate the same message. Besides, it supports different authorization methods to enhance the privacy. Furthermore, based on the random oracle model, we prove the security of the proposed scheme to be equivalent to the modified bilinear Diffie-Hellman intractable assumption. Finally, the efficiency analysis shows that the AET-IBC scheme is practicable and convenient for mobile social networking applications.

Radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology has proliferated over the last few years and being deployed as identification technology in numerous domains like intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and Internet of Vehicles (IoV) for applications like road safety, efficient traffic management, automatic toll collection, intelligent parking, etc. As RFID devices, as well as the possible domains of ITS and IoV onto which the RFID technology can be deployed, are usually resource-constrained, thus, security and privacy become a major concern. So, public-key cryptography becomes the better choice for enhancing the security of RFID based systems. Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) is one of the dominant and secure asymmetric-key cryptosystems being used for RFID security due to its smaller key size. Numerous RFID authentication schemes based on ECC have been suggested in literature, however, the majority has various serious security weaknesses. To bridge those existing security weaknesses, an enhanced ECC based light weight protocol for RFID systems has been proposed in this article. An extensive security analysis has been performed to demonstrate various secure features offered by our proposed protocol, and formal security analysis is being conducted using Automated Validation of Internet Security Protocols and Applications tool. The performance of our proposed RFID protocol has been compared with various existing RFID based security solutions on the basis of parameters, that is, computational cost, communication cost, and storage requirement. Simulation results indicate that the proposed lightweight protocol is more secure and performance efficient than the existing RFID protocols, and is well suited for practical applications.
