Abstract
In this paper, we present a novel protocol, called Distributed Signcryption with Verifiable Partial Signature (DiSigncryption) protocol, to allow an agent owner to securely distribute his signing capability among a set of trusted third party hosts (TTP-hosts) via a mobile agent. The protocol incorporates three schemes: A novel Distributed Reputation Management scheme, a modified version of the Distributed Signcryption method proposed in [23], and an extended version of the Agent-based Threshold Proxy Signcryption (ATPS) protocol proposed in [2]. The security properties of the proposed protocol are analyzed, and the protocol is compared with the most related work. © Springer Science + Business Media, LLC 2006.
