Abstract

Abstract: In Eurocrypt’2009, Wu et al. (2009) presented an important primitive named the asymmetric group key agreement (AGKA) protocol. In such a primitive, a group of users generate a common public encryption key, and each user only holds his own secret decryption key. Authenticated asymmetric group key agreement (AAGKA) protocols are a kind of AGKA protocol that can be secure against active attacks. AAGKA protocols in certificateless public key cryptography (CL-PKC) have some preponderance than those in identity-based cryptography and PKI cryptography. However, existing AAGKA protocols in CL-PKC only consider security against normal type adversaries, the weakest adversaries considered in CL-PKC literature. To solve this problem, an improved security model that considers security against super adversaries and a provably secure certificateless AAGKA protocol under the improved security model are proposed. Efficiency comparison shows that the proposed protocol is more efficient.

Key words: asymmetric group key agreement, provable security, super adversaries, certificateless key cryptography
