A secure and efficient certificateless content extraction signature with privacy protection.

Abstract

Efficiency and privacy are the key aspects in content extraction signatures. In this study, we proposed a Secure and Efficient and Certificateless Content Extraction Signature with Privacy Protection (SECCESPP) in which scalar multiplication of elliptic curves is used to replace inefficient bilinear pairing of certificateless public key cryptosystem, and the signcryption idea is borrowed to implement privacy protection for signed messages. The correctness of the SECCESPP scheme is demonstrated by the consistency of the message and the accuracy of the equation. The security and privacy of the SECCESPP scheme are demonstrated based on the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem in the random oracle model and are formally analyzed with the formal analysis tool ProVerif, respectively. Theory and experimental analysis show that the SECCESPP scheme is more efficient than other schemes.
