Abstract:

By using the Tag-KEM/DEM hybrid encryption technique and based on a provable security signcryption hybrid construction SCTK/DEM proposed by Bj¢rstad in 2006, a new signcryption scheme is given. By analyzing its hybrid construction, it is obtained that the proposed signcryption scheme is up to the SCTK/DEM construction. So, it has provable security. Moreover, compared with the famous signcryption scheme SCS, the high efficiency of our proposed scheme is shown at the same time.

Key words: cryptography, signcryption, encapsulation, hybrid encryption, construction, efficiency
