ID-based ring signcryption schemes (IDRSC) are usually derived from bilinear parings, a powerful but computationally expensive primitive. The number of paring computations of all existing ID-based ring signcryption schemes from bilinear pairings grows linearly with group size, which makes the efficiency of ID-based schemes over traditional schemes questionable. This paper presents a new identity-based ring signcryption scheme. which only takes four pairing operations for any group size and the scheme is proven to be indistinguishable against adaptive chosen ciphertext ring attacks (IND-IDRSC-CCA2) and existentially unforgeable against adaptive chosen message and identity attacks (EUF-IDRSC-ACMA) under the random oracle model.
