Elliptic Curve-Based Certificateless Signatures for Identity-Based Encryption
RFC 6507, “Elliptic Curve-Based Certificateless Signatures for Identity-Based Encryption”, is an Informational document published in February 2012 by M. Groves. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Many signature schemes currently in use rely on certificates for authentication of identity. In Identity-based cryptography, this adds unnecessary overhead and administration. The Elliptic Curve-based Certificateless Signatures for Identity-based Encryption (ECCSI) signature scheme described in this document is certificateless. This scheme has the additional advantages of low bandwidth and low computational requirements. This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.
What “Informational” means
