Abstract


Due to the advance of new technology data sharing has never been easier in this world. An accurate analysis on the shared data provides a group of benefits to both the society and individuals. Data sharing between two members or group of members must take into account several issues. They are efficiency, data integrity and privacy of data owner. To overcome this issue Ring signature concept is introduced. It is a promising approach to construct a secret and authentic data sharing system which allows a owner of the data to anonymously authenticate his/her data which can be put into the cloud for storage or analysis purpose. This could be creating costly certificate verification in the traditional public key infrastructure (PKI) .So this type of verification additionally create a bottleneck and scalable problem. To overcome this problem Identity-based (ID-based) ring signature could be used. The major advantage of this ID based scheme is eliminates the costly certificate verification. This paper further enhances the security by integrating ID-based ring signature with forward security. Even though a secret key of any user has been attacked or compromised, all previous generated signatures that belong to the user still remain valid. For any type of large scale data sharing system this property is especially important. It never asks data owners to re authenticate their data even if a secret key is known to the attacker. This scheme provides a concrete and efficient method.
