Abstract:

In recent years, industrial Internet of things (IIoT) technology and related industries have developed rapidly, and the data security issues of industrial equipment have received widespread attention. In the past to ensure the legitimacy of industrial equipment identity and data authenticity often use traditional digital signature technology, while the traditional digital signature program has a certificate management or key escrow problems, can not meet the current requirements. In this paper, an offline-online signature scheme for industrial Internet of things environment was proposed, constructing system parameters through bilinear pairing technology, and generating signatures that were divided into two-phase signatures based on offline-online technology. In the offline signature stage there was no need for message participation, responsible for completing computationally intensive cryptographic operations to generate offline signature values. In the online signature stage, only needed to use the prepared offline signature value, the system parameters, and the message that needed to be signed to carry out a small portion of the cryptographic operations to obtain the complete signature value. The scheme was proved to be secure against malicious attacks in the stochastic predicate machine model. This scheme reduces the number of time-consuming calculations in online signatures, significantly reduces the computational cost, while also overcoming the security issues of two types of adversaries.
