An ID-based cryptosystem based on the discrete logarithm problem

In a modern network system, data security technologies such as cryptosystems, signature schemes, etc., are indispensable for reliable data transmission. In particular, for a large-scale network, ID-based systems such as the ID-based cryptosystem, the ID-based signature scheme, or the ID-based key distribution system are among the better countermeasures for establishing efficient and secure data transmission systems. The concept of an ID-based cryptosystem has been proposed by A. S?hamir (1985), and it is advantageous to public-key cryptosystems because a large public-key file is not required for such a system. An ID-based cryptosystem based on the discrete logarithm problem is proposed which is one of the earliest realizations in Shamir's sense. The security against a conspiracy of some entities in the proposed system is considered, along with the possibility of establishing a more secure system.<
