I have the following problem: Alice wants to send Bob a message such that Bob knows it is from Alice but at the same time he cannot prove that Alice send him this message.
The solution I came up with, using RSA, is:
- Alice picks a random key K, and encrypts the message M using this key K. M'= aes(K, M)
- Alice hashes K and Bob's public key to get H. H = sha(K + Bob's Public Key)
- Alice signes H using her private key. S = rsa_sign(Alice's private key, H)
- Alice encrypts K and S using Bob's public key. P = rsa_encprypt(Bob's public key, K + S)
- Alice sends P, M' to Bob
Bob receives P, M':
- Uses his private key to get K, S.
- Uses Alice's public key to verify S
- Uses K to decrypt M'.
Do you see any holes in this?
Thanks!
