Abstract

Pervasive computing environments permits users to get the services they require at anywhere and anytime. Security turns to be a major challenge in pervasive computing environments due to its heterogeneity, dynamicity, mobility and openness. In this paper, we propose a new heterogeneous deniable authentication scheme called CLIBDA for pervasive computing environments utilizing bilinear pairings. The proposed CLIBDA scheme permits a sender in certificateless cryptography (CLC) setting to transmit a message securely to a receiver in an identity based cryptography (IBC) setting. Detailed security analysis shows that the CLIBDA scheme is secure in the random oracle model (ROM) under the bilinear Diffie–Hellman assumption. Additionally, CLIBDA supports batch verification which is necessary for the speed up of the verification of authenticators. This characteristic makes the CLIBDA scheme suitable in pervasive computing environments.
