Abstract

Proxy signature schemes allow an original signer to delegate signing authority to a proxy signer, supporting flexible authentication in distributed and resource-constrained environments such as cloud computing, blockchain, and Internet of Things (IoT) networks. Although many constructions have been proposed, a large number have later been broken due to flawed design assumptions, weak delegation binding, or the absence of rigorous provable security. This paper surveys proxy signature schemes with a focus on their security weaknesses. {It presents} a taxonomy of existing constructions by cryptographic primitive, delegation mechanism, and proof framework, {and then consolidates} known cryptanal...

Abstract

Quantum–based models are used to improve the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystems' efficiency, storage capacity, processing speed, and security. These models investigate quantum effects such as subluminality/superluminality, time delay, and phase shifting to achieve the mentioned goals. Mostly, these models use achiral atomic media that deal with the light beam in a straight path and fail to provide the most needed properties of efficient decision-making, optical routing, control of polarization, and enhanced security. In order to make up for these deficiencies, an investigation into the propagation of a light beam through a chiral atomic medium has been carried out. A decision-making and o... More >
