A new escrow mechanism for personal security keys on IBE was proposed.This mechanism constructed a security trust system composed of private key generator
key management center
and user security component to set up a personal security key escrow model
thus providing identity validation
confidentiality and integrality check for the application
backup
recovery
and renewal of the escrowed keys.The mechanism
taking advantage of the IBE
simplified the process of authentication and encryption
mede it possible for users to complete independently the escrow of personal security keys.Therefore
it is more practical than traditional key escrow schemes.
