Solution

The cryptographic goal that needs to be met to convince John that Bill was actually the sender of the message is Nonrepudiation. Nonrepudiation ensures that a party in a communication cannot deny the authenticity of their signature on a document or the sending of a message. In this case, it would prevent Bill from denying he sent the email to John.

The consortium are interested in implementing signatures into the crypto-system. The goal is to provide an authentication mechanism which allows a recipient to see from whom the message originated. The consortium leader considers several options for how to implement this mechanism. State whether or not each option is secure, and provide a justification. Suppose Aldebaran wishes to send a message to Borealis, and Aldebaran possesses a signing keypair (sk′A, pk′A). (Hint: think about what eavesdroppers can learn about the identities of senders) Aldebaran computes σ = Sign(sk′A, m), and cσ =Enc(pkC, σ).Aldebaran sends this ciphertext along with their usual broadcast(pkC, cdest, cmsg). Chandra performs her usual steps, as well as decrypting to obtain σ =Dec(skC, cσ). She sends it along with her usual broadcast (pkB, c′msg) for Borealis. Lastly, Borealis, decrypts to obtain the message m. Borealis believes the message should have come from Aldebaran. He runs Verify(pk′A, m, σ) and is satisfied only if the signature accepts.
