Title
CGST: Provably Secure Lightweight Certificateless Group Signcryption Technique Based on Fractional Chaotic Maps
Abstract
In recent years, there has been a lot of research interest in analyzing chaotic constructions and their associated cryptographic structures. Compared with the essential combination of encryption and signature, the signcryption scheme has a more realistic solution for achieving message confidentiality and authentication simultaneously. However, the security of a signcryption scheme is questionable when deployed in modern safety-critical systems, especially as billions of sensitive user information is transmitted over open communication channels. In order to address this problem, a lightweight, provably secure certificateless technique that uses Fractional Chaotic Maps (FCM) for group-oriented signcryption (CGST) is proposed. The main feature of the CGST-FCM technique is that any group signcrypter may encrypt data/information with the group manager (GM) and have it sent to the verifier seamlessly. This implies the legitimacy of the signcrypted information/data is verifiable using the public conditions of the group, but they cannot link it to the conforming signcrypter. In this scenario, valid signcrypted information/data cannot be produced by the GM or any signcrypter in that category alone. However, the GM is allowed to reveal the identity of the signcrypter when there is a legal conflict to restrict repudiation of the signature. Generally, the CGST-FCM technique is protected from the indistinguishably chosen ciphertext attack (IND-CCA). Additionally, the computationally difficult Diffie-Hellman (DH) problems have been used to build unlinkability, untraceability, unforgeability, and robustness of the projected CGST-FCM scheme. Finally, the security investigation of the presented CGST-FCM technique shows appreciable consistency and high efficiency when applied in real-time security applications.
