An aggregate signature refers to a signature, by whichnsignaturesσ1,...,σncorresponding tonmessagesm1,...,mnandnusersu1,...,uncan be transformed into a single short signature . Besides, anyone can be convinced by the single short signature that thenmessagesm1,...,mnwere definitely signed by thenusersu1,...,uncorrespondingly. The concept of certificateless cryptography is proposed, so as to settle the key escrow problem in ID‐based cryptography and eliminate the demand for certificates in certified cryptography. A certificateless signature scheme was proposed by Chenet al.in 2014, which was extended into a certificateless aggregate signature scheme. In this paper, two attacks are firstly provided, so as to indicate that the certificateless signature scheme is insecure against a Type I adversary and a Type II adversary. And then, it is demonstrated that the certificateless aggregate signature scheme is not able to achieve the security levels they claimed due to the weaknesses of the certificateless signature scheme.
