An Online/Offline HIBS Scheme for Privacy Protection of People-centric Sensing

People-Centric Sensing (PCS), which collects information closely related to human activity and interactions in societies, is stepping into a flourishing time. Along with its great benefits, PCS poses new security challenges such as data integrity, participant privacy. Hierarchical Identity-Based Signature (HIBS) scheme can efficiently provide high integrity messaging, secure communication and privacy protection to PCS. However, the low computation efficiency primarily hinders the PCS adoption of HIBS scheme. In this paper, we propose an online/offline HIBS (HIBOOS) scheme for securing PCS. By splitting the signing phase into online and offline procedures, our scheme achieves high signing efficiency.
