Secure Conference Key Distribution Schemes for Conspiracy Attack

At the Eurocrypt'88 meeting, we proposed three identity-based conference key distribution schemes. At the Asiacrypt'91 meeting, Shimbo and Kawamura presented a conspiracy attacking method which worked against our schemes to disclose a user's secret information. This paper proposes an improved identity-based conference key distribution scheme to counter this attack.
