Xiaofeng Chen and Haibo Tian and Fangguo Zhang

Abstract: In this paper, we present some security flaws of the key-exposure free chameleon hash scheme based on factoring \cite{GWX07}. Besides, we propose an improved chameleon hash scheme without key exposure based on factoring which enjoys all the desired security notions of chameleon hashing.
