A Strong and Efficient Certificateless Digital Signature Scheme

Mohammed Alfateh Hassouna and Mohsin Hashim

Abstract: This paper extends the certificateless public key infrastructure model that was proposed by Hassouna et al by proposing new digital signature scheme to provide true non-repudiation, the proposed signature scheme is short and efficient, it is also has strength point that the KGC has no contribution in signature generation/verification process, therefore any compromise of the KGC does not affect the non-repudiation service of the system. Furthermore, even the KGC cannot do signature forgery by (temporary) replacing the user’s public key.
