Transaction systems and methods for advancing a committed time in the future are described herein. In the present transaction systems and methods, the first end can be permitted to pre-hatch a time capsule signature before the committed time. The time capsule signature scheme here is conducted based on an identity-based trapdoor relation (IDTR). Moreover, an extended time capsule signature scheme is conducted based on an extended identity-based trapdoor relation (IDTR). By using an extended IDTR primitive, the present transaction systems and methods can distinguish the time capsule signature is validated before or after the committed time t.

Advancing a committed transaction time

The invention discloses a method for implementing encryption and transmission of information and system thereof. The method comprises the following steps when a sender sends information to a receiver: a client of the sender encrypts the information by using a unique identifier of a receiver identity as a public key; the sender sends the encrypted information to the receiver; the receiver receives the encrypted information, and a client of the receiver performs decryption by using a user private key; wherein the client of the receiver obtains the user private key by one-off registration and the user private key matches with the unique identifier of the receiver identity. The system comprises an information transmission platform, a sender and a receiver connected to each other by the information transmission platform, clients provided in the sender and the receiver, and a registration component. According to the present invention, secure communication between the sender and the receiver is realized without a process of establishing any initial key, and the negotiation process between the sender and the receiver before encryption/decryption and the interactions with any other entities during every encryption/decryption procedure are avoided.
