Abstract Security is a primary concern in communication for reliable transfer of information between the authenticated members, which becomes more complex in a network of Internet of Things (IoT). To provide security for group communication a key management scheme incorporating Bilinear pairing technique with Multicast and Unicast key management protocol (BMU-IOT) for decentralized networks has been proposed. The first part of the proposed work is to divide the network into clusters where sensors are connected to and is administered by cluster head. Each sensor securely shares its secret keys with the cluster head using unicast. Based on these decryption keys, the… More >

Abstract With the diversification of electronic devices, cloud-based services have become the link between different devices. As a cryptosystem with secure conversion function, proxy re-encryption enables secure sharing of data in a cloud environment. Proxy re-encryption is a public key encryption system with ciphertext security conversion function. A semi-trusted agent plays the role of ciphertext conversion, which can convert the user ciphertext into the same plaintext encrypted by the principal’s public key. Proxy re-encryption has been a hotspot in the field of information security since it was proposed by Blaze et al. [Blaze, Bleumer and Strauss (1998)]. After 20 years of… More >

Abstract The security of cloud data has always been a concern. Cloud server provider may maliciously tamper or delete user’s data for their own benefit, so data integrity audit is of great significance to verify whether data is modified or not. Based on the general three-party audit architecture, a dynamic auditing scheme without bilinear pairings is proposed in this paper. It utilizes exponential operation instead of bilinear mapping to verify the validity of evidence. By establishing the mapping relation between logic index and tag index of data block with index transformation table, our scheme can easily support dynamic data operation. By… More >
