An Improved Identity-Based Ring Signcryption Scheme

ABSTRACT In this paper, we show that the identity-based ring signcryption scheme suggested by Zhu, Zhang, and Wang (2009) does not reach the security as they claimed it does. To make up for this defect, we propose a rescue scheme and prove the revised scheme is secure under the random oracle model.
