“…According to Xu and Zeng [ 21 ], the propose scheme of Addobea et al [ 20 ] is unable to accomplish correctness, a key security property that should be provided by a signature scheme. In the same year, Khan et al [ 22 ] provided a new COOS solution for IoHT employing hyperelliptic curve discrete logarithm problem hardness (HCDLP). According to Hussain et al [ 23 ], the given approach of Khan et al [ 22 ] is insecure when subject to adaptive chosen message attacks.…”

According to Hussain et al [ 23 ], the given approach of Khan et al [ 22 ] is insecure when subject to adaptive chosen message attacks. It has been proven that an adversary can fake a valid signature on a message by substituting their own public key in place of the one that is supposed to be used.…”

Underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) have emerged as the most widely used wireless network infrastructure in many applications. Sensing nodes are frequently deployed in hostile aquatic environments in order to collect data on resources that are severely limited in terms of transmission time and bandwidth. Since underwater information is very sensitive and unique, the authentication of users is very important to access the data and information. UWSNs have unique communication and computation needs that are not met by the existing digital signature techniques. As a result, a lightweight signature scheme is required to meet the communication and computation requirements. In this research, we present a Certificateless Online/Offline Signature (COOS) mechanism for UWSNs. The proposed scheme is based on the concept of a hyperelliptic curves cryptosystem, which offers the same degree of security as RSA, bilinear pairing, and elliptic curve cryptosystems (ECC) but with a smaller key size. In addition, the proposed scheme was proven secure in the random oracle model under the hyperelliptic curve discrete logarithm problem. A security analysis was also carried out, as well as comparisons with appropriate current online/offline signature schemes. The comparison demonstrated that the proposed scheme is superior to the existing schemes in terms of both security and efficiency. Additionally, we also employed the fuzzy-based Evaluation-based Distance from Average Solutions (EDAS) technique to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

“…In signcryption schemes for WBAN, discussed in Table 1, the well-known technique, which is used for the cost efficiency, is bilinear pairing, elliptic curve, and the hyperelliptic curve. According to the experimental results, which is discussed in [21], regarding the major operations, the single pairing operation takes 14.90 milliseconds (ms), single exponential operation takes 1.25 ms, single elliptic scalar multiplication consumes 0.97 ms, and according to [22][23][24][25][26], single hyperelliptic curve needs 0.48 ms, respectively. Thus, from Table 3, we can easily choose the best scheme on the basis of computational cost.…”

We observed from [21] that the single ESM consumes 0.97 ms, P needs 14.90 ms, PBM consumes 4.31 ms, E needs 1.97 ms, and it is also assumed that HEM earnings consume 0.48 ms [22][23][24][25][26]. Moreover, a computation cost reduction is shown in Table 7 and Figure 5, respectively.…”

In the last few years, the wireless body area network (WBAN) has emerged as an appealing and viable option in the e-health application domain. WBAN technology is primarily used to offer continuous screening of health data to patients, independent of their location, time, or activity. A WBAN, on the other hand, is vulnerable to different cyberattacks due to the openness of the wireless environment and the privacy of people’s physiological data. A highly efficient and secure cryptographic scheme that can fulfill the needs of resource-constrained WBAN sensors and devices is considered necessary. First, we take a look at the most up-to-date security solutions for WBANs. Then, we go through some of the underlying concerns and challenges with WBAN security. We propose a new framework called secure channel free certificateless signcryption scheme for WBANs based on a hyperelliptic curve that can meet security requirements such as confidentiality, anonymity, integrity, resistance against unauthorized users, unforgeability, public verifiability, forward secrecy, and antireplay attack, all of which can be achieved with low computation and communication costs. The computation cost of the proposed scheme is 3.36 ms, which is much better than its counterpart schemes.

IoHT can also be used to track environmental factors such as patient care venues, room status, laboratory shift times, treatment times, and staff-to-patient ratios in addition to medical applications [8]. As a result, this dynamic environment requires a stable yet adaptable connectivity, networking, and computing technology base.…”

An Anonymous Certificateless Signcryption Scheme for Internet of Health Things

Internet of Health Things (IoHT) is a hot topic of research presently, which provides a reliable and intelligent healthcare system for monitoring the physical conditions of the patients over the Internet from anywhere and anytime. The ease of time-independent interaction from geographically remote areas is a core advantage of the IoHT system, which offers preventive or proactive healthcare facilities at a lower cost. IoHT communication, on the other hand, is usually carried out with a range of low-power biomedical sensors, rendering them vulnerable to cyber-attacks and incompatible with traditional cryptographic techniques. The most critical security concern in IoHT is ensuring the authenticity of patients' health-related messages sent over the internet. Other key concerns include receiver anonymity and forward security, which means that only the sender knows the identities of the recipients. As a result, even if the private key of senders compromised, the adversary will be unable to decrypt the ciphertext. Existing signcryption schemes that employ certificateless cryptography for the healthcare system failed to guarantee both receiver anonymity and forward security simultaneously. Therefore, in this article, we propose an anonymous certificateless signcryption scheme for IoHT applications, which is based on the notion of the Hyperelliptic Curve (HEC) cryptosystem to satisfy these security requirements. The proposed scheme guarantees formal security analysis for confidentiality, unforgeability, and receiver anonymity using the Random Oracle Model (ROM). The results authenticate that the proposed scheme improves security while lowering computation and communication costs.INDEX TERMS Internet of things, IoHT, security, signcryption, hyperelliptic curve cryptosystem, random oracle model.
