Certificateless signcryption mechanism can not only provide security services, such as message integrity, non-repudiation and confidentiality, but also solve the problems of public key certificate management and key escrow. Zhou et al. proposed a certificateless signcryption mechanism without bilinear mapping and gave its security proof under the discrete logarithm problem and the computational Diffie Hellman problem in the random oracle model. However, the analysis show that this scheme has security flaws. That is, attackers can forge legitimate signatures of any messages. Finally, we give the specific attack process.

Searchable encryption technology can guarantee the confidentiality of cloud data and the searchability of ciphertext data, which has a very broad application prospect in cloud storage environments. However, most existing searchable encryption schemes have problems, such as excessive computational overhead and low security. In order to solve these problems, a lightweight searchable encryption scheme based on certificateless cryptosystem is proposed. The user's final private key consists of partial private key and secret value, which effectively solves the certificate management problem of the traditional cryptosystem and the key escrow problem of identity-based cryptosystem. At the same time, the introduction of third-party manager has significantly reduced the burden in the cloud server and achieved lightweight multi-user ciphertext retrieval. In addition, the data owner stores the file index in the third-party manager, while the file ciphertext is stored in the cloud server. This ensures that the file index is not known by the cloud server. The analysis results show that the scheme satisfies trapdoor indistinguishability and can resist keyword guessing attacks. Compared with similar certificateless encryption schemes, it has higher computational performance in key generation, keyword encryption, trapdoor generation and keyword search.

Vehicle ad-hoc network (VANET) is the main driving force to alleviate traffic congestion and accelerate the construction of intelligent transportation. However, the rapid growth of the number of vehicles makes the construction of the safety system of the vehicle network facing multiple tests. This paper proposes an identity-based aggregate signature scheme to protect the privacy of vehicle identity, receive messages in time and authenticate quickly in VANET. The scheme uses aggregate signature algorithm to aggregate the signatures of multiple users into one signature, and joins the idea of batch authentication to complete the authentication of multiple vehicular units, thereby improving the verification efficiency. In addition, the pseudoidentity of vehicles is used to achieve the purpose of vehicle anonymity and privacy protection. Finally, the secure storage of message signatures is effectively realized by using reliable cloud storage technology. Compared with similar schemes, this paper improves authentication efficiency while ensuring security, and has lower storage overhead.
