Abstract
Certificateless identification (CLI) schemes offer an alternative solution to the certificate management problem of traditional identification schemes, as well as remove the key escrow from key generation, an inherent property of identity-based identification. In this paper, we provide a pairing-free CLI scheme, provable secure against passive and active/concurrent attacks for both Type-1 and Type-2 adversaries. This shows that our scheme is computationally efficient because no bilinear pairings are involved.
