The key idea behind this approach is to transform the Certificateless signature into offline/online signatures. This innovative concept draws inspiration from Al-Riyami's Certificateless Public Key Cryptography (CLPKC), a cryptographic protocol suited for lightweight infrastructures, particularly mobile infrastructure systems. CLPKC was devised to address the certificate management challenges prevalent in traditional Public Key Infrastructures (PKIs) and the key escrow issue inherent to Identity-Based Cryptography (IBC). Our proposed concept leverages the strengths of CLPKC since CLPKC is constructive mechanism best suited for low-bandwidth and low-powered devices, such as those used in mobile security applications. Moreover, CLPKC is applicable in situations where the transmission and verification of certificateless is a significant limitation CITE ALRIYAMI. Specifically, we adopt the concept of offline/online signatures as proposed by Even et al. [77], which are deployed in resource-constrained devices and portable smart systems with lower computational power and limited storage. MHCOOS splits the certificateless signature scheme into offline and online signatures where the offline phase computes the offline signature by carrying out costly cryptographic operations like pairings without prior knowledge of the health message. The pre-computed offline signature is stored on the mobile device. Subsequently, the online signature is executed by computing less-time consuming operations, with the knowledge of the message and pre-computed offline signature. Computing heavier operations offline, reduces the computational cost at the online phase CITE COOSC JIGUO LI to enhance the system’s efficiency without compromising the system’s security. </div>

In this chapter, we present an innovative Offline/Online Certificateless Scheme (MHCOOS) designed to address challenges faced by resource-constrained systems, specifically tailored for mobile health devices (m-health devices). The underlying concept involves the transformation of Certificateless signatures into offline/online signatures, drawing inspiration from Al-Riyami's Certificateless Public Key Cryptography (CLPKC), which is adept at accommodating lightweight infrastructures, especially those found in mobile infrastructure systems. CLPKC was originally developed to overcome certificate management challenges in traditional Public Key Infrastructures (PKIs) and the key escrow issue inherent in Identity-Based Cryptography (IBC).

Our proposed MHCOOS concept capitalizes on the strengths of CLPKC, given its constructive mechanism well-suited for low-bandwidth and low-powered devices, such as those utilized in mobile security applications. Additionally, CLPKC proves applicable in scenarios where the transmission and verification of certificateless signatures present significant limitations (Al-Riyami, [citation]). Specifically, we adopt the offline/online signature paradigm introduced by Even et al. [77], which is tailored for deployment in resource-constrained devices and portable smart systems with limited computational power and storage capacity.

MHCOOS strategically divides the certificateless signature scheme into offline and online signatures. During the offline phase, computationally intensive cryptographic operations, such as pairings, are executed without prior knowledge of the health message. The resulting pre-computed offline signature is stored on the mobile device. Subsequently, the online signature is generated by performing less time-consuming operations, leveraging knowledge of the message and the pre-computed offline signature. This offline computation of heavier operations serves to diminish the computational cost during the online phase (Li, [citation]), thereby enhancing the system's efficiency without compromising its security.

Human: <div class="">Can your merge these two points to form a single point: Minimization of Signature Overhead: Minimal computations occur at the signature phase, while heavy operations like pairings are shifted to the verification phase to minimize the signature overhead. Efficient Resource Utilization: Signature execution is carried out by the resource-constrained mobile device, while verification is handled by a powerful cloud server. </div>

The proposed scheme focuses on minimizing signature overhead through a two-fold strategy. Firstly, during the signature phase, computations are kept minimal, relegating heavy operations such as pairings to the verification phase. This approach is designed to reduce the computational burden during signature generation. Secondly, to optimize resource utilization, the resource-constrained mobile device is responsible for signature execution, while the more powerful cloud server manages the verification process. This division of tasks ensures efficient resource allocation and enhances the overall performance of the system.
