Abstract

A (t,n) threshold proxy signcryption scheme allows tor more proxy signcrypters from a designated group of nproxy signcrypters to signcrypt messages on behalf of an original signcrypter. In this paper, an identity-based (t,n) threshold proxy signcryption scheme using bilinear pairings is proposed. Our construction is based on Baek and Zheng's pairing-based verifiable secret sharing scheme and Libert and Quisquater's identity-based signcryption scheme. As compared to the previous threshold proxy signcryption schemes, the key management problem in our scheme is simplified because of using identity-based cryptography. We also present an application of our scheme in multi-agent systems.
