<p>By dividing encryption as online and offline stages, the online/offline encryption schemes are very suitable to lightweight equipment. For the offline stage, high-performance equipment is used for complex preprocessing calculation, and the online stage the lightweight devices only make some simple calculations. In addition, side channel attacks can disclose some secret information of the cryptosystem, which leads to the destruction of the security of the cryptography schemes. Most of the online/offline identity-based encryption schemes cannot resist side channel attacks. The paper proposes a concrete hierarchical identity-based and online/offline encryption scheme that can resist continuous leakage of secret key. By the dual system encryption technology, we prove that the given scheme is fully secure. Through key updation technology, our proposed scheme resists continual leakage of private key. The relative leakage rate of the private key can reach 1/3. In addition, the presented scheme has the hierarchical function which effectively solves the problem of heavy load in a single key generation center. The given scheme is suitable for applications in distributed environment.</p> <p> </p>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
