Certificateless broadcast multi-signature for network coding

Abstract

Network coding can save wireless network resources and is very fast in comparison with traditional routing. In real application scenarios, network coding is vulnerable to pollution attacks and forgery attacks. To solve these problems, the certificateless broadcast multi-signature for network coding (NC-CLBMS) method is devised, where each source node user generates a multi-signature about the message vector, and the intermediate node linearly combines the received data. NC-CLBMS is a multi-source multi-signature method with anti-pollution and anti-forgery advantages; moreover, it has a fixed signature length and its computation efficiency is very high. NC-CLBMS has extensive application prospects in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communication networks, fifth-generation wireless networks, wireless sensor networks, mobile wireless networks, and Internet of Vehicles.
