The scheme allows redistribution between different access structures and between different threshold schemes. A point worth mentioning is that this verifiable secret redistribution (VSR) scheme can identify dishonest old shareholders during redistribution without any assumption. A certain technique is adopted to verify the correctness of the old shares of the secret. As a result, the scheme is very efficient. It can be applied to proactive secret sharing (PSS) schemes to construct more flexible and practical proactive secret sharing schemes.展开更多

In this paper, we present a new proactive RSA scheme for ad hoc networks, which includes four protocols： the initial key distribution protocol, the share refreshing protocol, the share distribution protocol, and the signature generation protocol. This scheme has two advantages： the building blocks are secure, and the system is efficient.展开更多

In our scheme, group members are divided into different subgroups, and a positive weight is associated to each subgroup, where all members of the same subgroup have the same weight. The group signature can be generated if and only if the sum of the weights of members involved is greater than or equal to a fixed threshold value. Meanwhile, the private key of the group members and the public key of the group can be updated periodically by performing a simple operation aimed at refreshing the group signature message. This periodical refreshed individual signature message can enhance the security of the proposed weighted threshold signature scheme.展开更多

This paper presented a provably secure asynchronous proactive RSA scheme, which includes three protocols: initial key distribution protocol, signature generation protocol and share refreshing protocol. Taken these protocols together, a complete provably secure proactive RSA scheme was obtained. And the efficiency of the scheme is approximate to that of the scheme of Zhou.展开更多

These nodes are mobile nodes, so they communicate with each other without any fixed access point. This type of network faces several attacks because of its mobility nature. In MANET, black hole attacks may cause packet dropping or misrouting of packets during transmission from sender to receiver. This may lead to performance degradation in the network. To surmount this issue, we propose the modified secret sharing scheme to provide the data protection from unauthorized nodes, consistency of data and genuineness. In this algorithm, initially the identification of black hole attacks is achieved and followed by data protection from malicious nodes and also this scheme checks for the reality of the data. Here, we detect the misbehaviour that is dropping or misrouting using verifiable secret sharing scheme. The proposed algorithm achieves the better packet delivery ratio, misbehaviour detection efficiency, fewer packets overhead and end-to-end delay than the existing schemes. These can be viewed in the simulation results.展开更多
