Abstract : Internet of things environment is adopted widely in different industries and business organizations with varying capacity. It provides a favorable environment to outsource the crowdsourced data in the cloud to minimize the cost of computation, which is called crowdsourcing. Crowdsourcing is a technique where individuals or organizations obtain goods and services. A professional or industry outsource the crowdsourced data in the cloud, where confidentiality and authenticity of data become essential. Signcryption is the cryptographic technique that serves both the authenticity and the privacy of transmitted messages. This technique ensures secure authentic data transmission and storage. Therefore, this paper proposes an identity-based signcryption scheme. In the proposed PSSCC framework, the user does pairing free computation during signcryption, which makes efficient calculation on user-side. Moreover, PSSCC framework is proved secure under modified bilinear Diffie-Hellman inversion and modified bilinear strong Diffie-Hellman problems. The performance analysis of PSSCC with related schemes indicates that the proposed system supports efficient communication along with less computation cost.
