| Research Abstract |
This research project focuses on the unconditionally secure crypto-infrastructures, which guarantees the unforgeability of signatures or certificates issued under the crypto-infrastructures without any unproven computational assumptions. We successfully established a sound and strong notion for such crypto-infrastructures by carefully examining the more established security notions for digital signatures based on public-key cryptography, and by taking into account desirable requirements of signature schemes in the unconditional security setting. We also revealed an interesting relation among relevant security notions which have appeared in the unconditionally setting, and significantly, proved that our new security notion is the strongest among all those for unconditionally secure authentication and signature schemes known to date. Furthermore, we showed that our security notion encompasses that for public-key signature schemes, namely, existential unforgeability under adaptive chosen-message attack. Finally we proposed a concrete method to construction and manage such unconditionally secure crypto-infrastructures that meet our strongest security notion.
