Questions tagged [certificateless-crypto]

Certificateless cryptography is a variant of ID-based cryptography intended to prevent the key escrow problem. Only a partial private key is generated by the key generation center (KGC) and the other part of the private key is chosen by and only known to the user. An additional public key is generated by the user, which, however does not need to be certified by any trusted party.
