Abstract:

The private key of all entities in the certificateless cryptosystem is generated by the key generation center (KGC) and the other part is generated by the user. This solves the problem of key escrow and reduces the burden of certificate management. The aggregate signature scheme improves the verification efficiency of signatures and also saves the length of signatures during communication. This paper first analyzes the security of an efficient certificateless aggregation signature scheme, and points out that the scheme does not satisfy the unforgeability. The malicious KGC can perform passive attacks, forge a valid aggregate signature and pass verification. In order to improve the security of the original scheme, this paper proposes a valid and efficient certificateless aggregation signature scheme. The new scheme does not require bilinear operation and overcomes the security problems of the original scheme. Based on the computational Diffie-Hellman problem, the improved new scheme is proved to be adaptive message attack unforgeable under the random oracle model. Compared with origin scheme, the proposal scheme is more secure and the total computational cost is greatly reduced.
