A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 6507 Title: Elliptic Curve-Based Certificateless Signatures for Identity-Based Encryption (ECCSI) Author: M. Groves Status: Informational Stream: IETF Date: February 2012 Mailbox: Michael.Groves@cesg.gsi.gov.uk Pages: 17 Characters: 36233 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-groves-eccsi-01.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6507.txt Many signature schemes currently in use rely on certificates for authentication of identity. In Identity-based cryptography, this adds unnecessary overhead and administration. The Elliptic Curve-based Certificateless Signatures for Identity-based Encryption (ECCSI) signature scheme described in this document is certificateless. This scheme has the additional advantages of low bandwidth and low computational requirements.
