Editing Certificateless cryptography (section)

==History==
The authors, Al-Riyami and Paterson, aimed to address the issue of key custody in the identity-based model, specifically targeting the encryption protocol developed by Boneh and Franklin (2003). Their proposed approach, Certificate-Based Public Key Cryptography (CL-PKC), seeks to enhance two existing models. Compared to traditional Public Key Cryptography (PKC), CL-PKC simplifies the structure by eliminating the need for [[digital certificates]]. In contrast to the identity-based model (ID-PKC), it improves security by removing the requirement for key escrow. To develop this hybrid model, which lies between identity-based systems and conventional PKC with [[digital certificates]], Al-Riyami and Paterson drew inspiration from Girault’s self-certified public key model (1991) and Boneh and Franklin’s identity-based scheme (2001).<ref>{{cite web |url=https://eprint.iacr.org/2001/090/ |title=Identity-Based Encryption from the Weil Pairing |last1=Boneh |first1=Dan |last2=Franklin |first2=Matthew |website=Cryptology ePrint Archive |publisher=International Association for Cryptologic Research |year=2001 |accessdate=22 December 2024}}</ref>
