Certificateless public key cryptography （CL- PKC） can solve the problems of certificate management in a public key infrastructure （PKI） and of key escrows in identity-based public key cryptography （ID-PKC）. In CL- PKC, the key generation center （KGC） does not know the private keys of all users, and their public keys need not be cer- tificated by certification authority （CA）. At present, however, most certificateless encryption schemes are based on large in- teger factorization and discrete logarithms that are not secure in a quantum environment and the computation complexity is high. To solve these problems, we propose a new certificate- less encryption scheme based on lattices, more precisely, us- ing the hardness of the learning with errors （LWE） problem. Compared with schemes based on large integer factoriza- tion and discrete logarithms, the most operations are matrix- vector multiplication and inner products in our scheme, our approach has lower computation complexity. Our scheme can be proven to be indistinguishability chosen ciphertext attacks （IND-CPA） secure in the random oracle model.
This paper proposes the first lattice-based sequential aggregate signature （SAS） scheme with lazy verification that is provably secure in the random oracle model. As opposed to large integer factoring and discrete logarithm based systems, the security of the construction relies on worst-case lattice problem, namely, under the small integer solution （SIS） assumption. Generally speaking, SAS schemes enable any group of signers ordered in a chain to sequentially combine their signatures such that the size of the aggregate signature is much smaller than the total size of all individual signatures. Unlike prior such proposals, the new scheme does not require a signer to retrieve the keys of other signers and verify the aggregate-so-far before adding its own signature, and the signer can add its own signature to an unverified aggregate and forward it along immediately, postponing verification until load permits or the necessary public keys are obtained. Indeed, the new scheme does not even require a signer to know the public keys of other signers.
Inspired by the framework of Boyen, in this paper, an attribute-based signature（ABS） scheme from lattice assumption is proposed. In this attribute-based signature scheme, an entity＇s attributes set corresponds to the concatenation of a lattice matrix with the sum of some random matrices, and the signature vector is generated by using the Preimage Sampling algorithm. Compared with current attribute-based signature schemes, this scheme can resist quantum attacks and enjoy shorter public-key, smaller signature size and higher efficiency.
