Abstract

In 2004, Peyravian et al. presented three simple solutions to X.509 PKI method that these three solutions could save storage, bandwidth and reduce the complexity of the operations. However, we find that Peyravian et al. second scheme suffers from the masquerade attack and this paper will propose a slight improvement to their scheme to resist this weakness.
