Certificateless strong key-insulated signature without random oracles

Abstract

It is important to ensure the private key secure in cryptosystem. To reduce the underlying danger caused by the private key leakage, Dodis et al. (2003) introduced the notion of key-insulated security. To handle the private key leakage problems in certificateless signature schemes, we propose a new certificateless strong key-insulated signature scheme. Our scheme has two desirable properties. First, its security can be proved without utilizing the random oracle model. Second, it solves the key escrow problems in identity-based key-insulated signatures (IBKISs).
