A fair network payment protocol plays an important role in electronic commerce. The fairness concept in payments can be illustrated as that two parties (e.g. customers and merchant...
Motivated by privacy issues associated with dissemination of signed digital certificates, we define a new type of signature scheme called a `Universal Designated-Verifier Signatur...

One of the recent thrust areas in research on hyperelliptic curve cryptography has been to obtain explicit formulae for performing arithmetic in the Jacobian of such curves. We con...
We propose a new public key trace and revoke scheme secure against adaptive chosen ciphertext attack. Our scheme is more efficient than the DF scheme suggested by Y. Dodis and N. F...
Abstract. Group signature schemes are fundamental cryptographic tools that enable unlinkably anonymous authentication, in the same fashion that digital signatures provide the basis...
This paper introduces the concept of certificateless public key cryptography (CL-PKC). In contrast to traditional public key cryptographic systems, CL-PKC does not require the use...
Most ancient Chinese padlocks are key-operated locks with splitting springs, and partially keyless letter-combination locks. They can be characterized based on the types of locks, ...
Constructing practical and provably secure group signature schemes has been a very active research topic in recent years. A group signature can be viewed as a digital signature wit...
We present a variation of the index calculus attack by Gaudry which can be used to solve the discrete logarithm problem in the Jacobian of hyperelliptic curves. The new algorithm h...
