Practical Identity-Based Cryptography: Efficient and Secure Elliptic Curve Pairings

椭圆曲线上的双线性对是一种新的密码学工具，在信息安全领域有着新颖的应用。 例如，有人提议用它们来取代现有的公用钥匙基础设施，而公用钥匙基础设施是电子商务和安全互联网的一个基本要素。 该研究将导致在配对的实际实施和安全应用领域的基础知识的增加。研究结果将使所有需要信息安全的电子通信用户受益。这包括金融业、政府、商业和国内用户。它还将支持许多与摩托罗拉业务市场相一致的新产品机会。

Bilinear pairings on elliptic curves are a new cryptographic tool and allow novel and improved applications in information security. For example, they have been proposed as a substitute of existing public key infrastructures, an essential element in electronic commerce and a secure Internet. The research will lead to an increase in fundamental knowledge in the area of practical implementation and secure applications of pairings. The results will benefit all users of electronic communications who require security for their information. This includes the financial industries, government, commerce and domestic users. It will also support many new product opportunities aligned with Motorola's business markets.
