Abstract
Embodiments for a networking device are disclosed. The networking device includes a private identity-based cryptographic (IBC) key issued for a first device. The networking device can receive an internet protocol (IP) packet from the first device. The networking device modifies the IP packet to form a modified IP packet, wherein modify the IP packet includes add an extension header to the IP packet. The extension header includes a source identifier identifying the first device, an indication of the key generation authority and an indication of an identity-based encryption (IBE) algorithm. The networking device also generates an identity-based signature (IBS) using the IBC algorithm with the source identifier as an identity input, the modified IP packet as a message input, and the private IBC key for the first device as a private key input. The modified IP packet and the IBS is then sent towards a destination of the IP packet.
