Title: Approaches for removing key escrow from identity-based cryptography
Identity-based public key cryptography is aimed at simplifying the management of certificates in traditional
public key infrastructures by means of using
the identity of a user as its public key. The main drawback of this special form of public key cryptography is
that it is key escrowed. Certificate-based and
certificate-less cryptography have been recently proposed as intermediate paradigms between traditional and
identity-based cryptography, seeking to simplify the
management of certificates while avoiding the key escrow property. In this talk, we will present an up-to-date
overview of these systems.
