Identity-based non-interactive key distribution with forward security

Abstract

Identity-based non-interactive key distribution (ID-NIKD) is a cryptographic primitive that enables two users to establish a common secret key without exchanging messages. All users of the system have access to public system parameters and a private key, obtained through the help of a trusted key generation center. In this contribution, we discuss how to capture an intuitive form of forward security for ID-NIKD schemes in a security model. Building on results of Sakai et al. as well as of Paterson and Srinivasan, we discuss how the proposed notion of forward security can be achieved in the random oracle model, using a Bilinear Diffie-Hellman assumption in combination with a forward-secure pseudorandom bit generator. We also show how a forward-secure ID-NIKD scheme can be used to realize forward-secure identity-based encryption.

A Certificateless Noninteractive Key Exchange Protocol with Provable Security

“…Paterson and Sirinivasan studied the relationship between ID-based NIKE and ID-based encryption and proposed an ID-NIKE scheme [16] and a security model stronger than Dupont and Enge's model. An improved ID-NIKE with forward secrecy is proposed in [17].…”

Lightweight anonymous key distribution scheme for smart grid using elliptic curve cryptography

“…Due to the above advantages, the ID‐based PKC is more suitable for the practical environment with limited resources. In the last few years, several ID‐based AKD schemes [25–28] have been proposed. However, most of those schemes cannot provide anonymity and both two participants need to execute the bilinear pairing operation or the hash‐to‐point operation, which are two very complicated operations in the modern public key cryptosystem.…”
