A Public Verifiable Identity Based Signcryption in the Random Oracle Model

Since Libert and Quisquater's identity based signcryption scheme cannot provide public verifiability after research, the paper proposes a new identity based signcryption scheme. The scheme uses quadratic residue and pairings over elliptic curves to realize public verifiability. By analysis the scheme is proved to be more efficient than Libert and Quisquater's scheme. Moreover, a security proof of the original scheme is presented in the random oracle model.
