Patent Application
20200007324
This application relates to the communications field, and in particular, to a private key generation method and system, and a device.
Currently, increasingly shrunk voice and SMS message services create increasingly fewer benefits for telecom operators. Therefore, the telecom operators focus on a vertical industry market, and the telecom operators increasingly cooperate with vertical industry customers. A bilateral relationship between a telecom operator and a terminal device is replaced by a trilateral relationship among a telecom operator, a vertical industry customer, and a terminal device. An original symmetric key authentication system cannot meet a requirement of the new trilateral relationship. This is because in the original symmetric key authentication system, both a telecom operator and a terminal device need to prestore a same authentication key, and perform authentication by using the authentication key. In this way, a symmetric key is controlled by the telecom operator, which poses a threat to security of digital assets of the vertical industry customer. In the new trilateral relationship, the telecom operator does not want the authentication key to be controlled by the vertical industry customer, and the vertical industry customer also does not want the authentication key to be controlled by the telecom operator. However, the authentication key needs to be trusted by both the telecom operator and the vertical industry.
This application provides a private key generation method and system, and a device, so that a key that is trusted by both a telecom operator and a vertical industry customer but is not controlled by either the telecom operator or the vertical industry customer can be generated.
According to a first aspect, a private key generation method is provided, where the method is applied to a terminal device side, and includes: receiving, by a terminal device, a first response message sent by a first network device, where the first response message includes at least a first sub-private key, and the first sub-private key is generated based on a first parameter set sent by a second network device; receiving, by the terminal device, a second response message sent by the second network device, where the second response message includes at least a second sub-private key, and the second sub-private key is generated based on a second parameter set sent by the first network device; and synthesizing, by the terminal device, a joint private key based on at least the first sub-private key and the second sub-private key.
According to a second aspect, a private key generation method is provided, where the method is applied to a first network device side, and includes: receiving, by a first network device, a first request sent by a terminal device, where the first request includes an identifier of the terminal device and an identifier of a second network device; receiving, by the first network device based on the identifier of the second network device, a second global public key and a second public validation token that are sent by the second network device, where the second global public key is generated by the second network device, and the second public validation token is generated by the second network device; generating, by the first network device, a first sub-private key based on a first parameter set, where the first parameter set includes the identifier of the terminal device, the second global public key, and the second public validation token; and sending, by the first network device, a first response message to the terminal device, where the first response message includes at least the first sub-private key.
According to a third aspect, a private key generation method is provided, where the method is applied to a second network device side, and includes: receiving, by a second network device, an identifier of the terminal device, a first global public key, and a first public validation token, where the first global public key is generated by the first network device, and the first public validation token is generated by the first network device; generating, by the second network device, a second sub-private key based on a second parameter set, where the second parameter set includes the identifier of the terminal device, the second global public key, and the second public validation token; and sending, by the second network device, a second response message to the terminal device, where the second response message includes at least the second sub-private key.
The private key generation method is described separately from perspectives of the terminal device, the first network device side, and the second network device side in the first aspect, the second aspect, and the third aspect. By implementing the method, the first network device generates the first sub-private key, the second network device generates the second sub-private key, and the terminal device synthesizes a first joint private key based on the first sub-private key and the second sub-private key. Because the first joint private key is generated based on the first sub-private key, the first joint private key can be trusted by the first network device (a vertical industry customer). In addition, because the first joint private key is generated also based on the second sub-private key, the first joint private key can also be trusted by the second network device (a telecom operator). However, the first network device knows only the first sub-private key but does not know the second sub-private key, and the second network device knows only the second sub-private key but does not know the first sub-private key. Therefore, the first joint private key is not controlled by either the telecom operator or the vertical industry customer.
With reference to the first aspect or the second aspect or the third aspect, in some possible implementations, the terminal device synthesizes the first sub-private key and the second sub-private key into a first joint private key according to the following formula:
SSK_1=SSK1+SSK2, where
SSK_1 is the first joint private key, SSK1 is the first sub-private key, and SSK2 is the second sub-private key.
It may be understood that the terminal device further needs to generate a first joint public key corresponding to the first joint private key, and the first joint public key is paired with the first joint private key. In other words, when using the first joint private key to perform signature, the terminal device may use the first joint public key to perform verification. The first joint public key includes a first joint public validation token and an identifier of the terminal device. Therefore, before the first joint public key is generated, the first joint public validation token needs to be first determined. Herein, the terminal device obtains the first joint public validation token in the following several manners:
In a first manner, the terminal device calculates the first joint public validation token according to the following formula:
PVT_U1=PVT1*PVT2, where
PVT_U1 is the first joint public validation token; PVT1 is the first public validation token, where the first public validation token is generated by the first network device; and PVT2 is the second public validation token, where the second public validation token is generated by the second network device.
In a second manner, the first network device calculates the first joint public validation token according to the following formula:
PVT_U1=PVT1*PVT2, where
PVT_U1 is the first joint public validation token; PVT1 is the first public validation token, where the first public validation token is generated by the first network device; and PVT2 is the second public validation token, where the second public validation token is generated by the second network device. The first network device generates the first joint public validation token, and sends the first joint public validation token to the terminal device by using the first response message. Correspondingly, the terminal device obtains the first joint public validation token from the first response message.
In a third manner, the second network device calculates the first joint public validation token according to the following formula:
PVT_U1=PVT1*PVT2, where
PVT_U1 is the first joint public validation token; PVT1 is the first public validation token, where the first public validation token is generated by the first network device; and PVT2 is the second public validation token, where the second public validation token is generated by the second network device. The second network device generates the first joint public validation token, and sends the first joint public validation token to the terminal device by using the second response message. Correspondingly, the terminal device obtains the first joint public validation token from the second response message.
With reference to the first aspect or the second aspect or the third aspect, in some possible implementations, the terminal device synthesizes the first sub-private key and the second sub-private key into a second joint private key according to the following formula:
SSK_2=SSK1+SSK2+HS*v0 mod q, where
SSK_2 is the second joint private key; SSK1 is the first sub-private key; SSK2 is the second sub-private key; HS is a hash parameter, where HS=hash(KPAK1∥KPAK2∥ID∥PVT_U2), hash( ) is a hash function, KPAK1 is a first global public key, where the first global public key is generated by the first network device, KPAK2 is a second global public key, where the second global public key is generated by the second network device, ID is the identifier of the terminal device, and PVT_U2 is a second joint public validation token; q is a prime number; and v0 is a random number selected by the terminal device from a finite field F_q generated by the prime number q.
In this implementation, the first network device knows only the first sub-private key but does not know the second sub-private key and a terminal device-specific parameter, and the second network device knows only the second sub-private key but does not know the first sub-private key and the terminal device-specific parameter. Therefore, the joint private key is not controlled by either a telecom operator or a vertical industry customer. In addition, because the first network device and the second network device cannot obtain the terminal device-specific parameter even if cooperating with each other, the first network device and the second network device cannot decrypt the second joint private key even if cooperating with each other. Therefore, security of the second joint private key can be further improved.
It may be understood that the terminal device further needs to generate a second joint public key corresponding to the second joint private key, and the second joint public key is paired with the second joint private key. In other words, when using the second joint private key to perform signature, the terminal device may use the second joint public key to perform verification. The second joint public key includes a second joint public validation token and an identifier of the terminal device. Therefore, before the second joint public key is generated, the second joint public validation token needs to be first determined. Herein, the terminal device obtains the second joint public validation token in the following several manners:
In a first manner, the terminal device calculates the second joint public validation token according to the following formula:
PVT_U2=PVT1*PVT2*PVT3, where
PVT_U2 is the second joint public validation token; PVT1 is the first public validation token, where the first public validation token is generated by the first network device; PVT2 is the second public validation token, where the second public validation token is generated by the second network device; and PVT3 is a third public validation token, where the third public validation token is generated by the terminal device.
In a second manner, the first network device calculates the second joint public validation token according to the following formula:
PVT_U2=PVT1*PVT2*PVT3, where
PVT_U2 is the second joint public validation token; PVT1 is the first public validation token, where the first public validation token is generated by the first network device; PVT2 is the second public validation token, where the second public validation token is generated by the second network device; and PVT3 is a third public validation token, where the third public validation token is generated by the terminal device. The first network device generates the second joint public validation token, and sends the second joint public validation token to the terminal device by using the first response message. Correspondingly, the terminal device obtains the second joint public validation token from the first response message.
In a third manner, the second network device calculates the second joint public validation token according to the following formula:
PVT_U2=PVT1*PVT2*PVT3, where
PVT_U2 is the second joint public validation token; PVT1 is the first public validation token, where the first public validation token is generated by the first network device; PVT2 is the second public validation token, where the second public validation token is generated by the second network device; and PVT3 is a third public validation token, where the third public validation token is generated by the terminal device. The second network device generates the second joint public validation token, and sends the second joint public validation token to the terminal device by using the second response message. Correspondingly, the terminal device obtains the second joint public validation token from the second response message.

To describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application more clearly, the following briefly describes the accompanying drawings required for describing the embodiments or the prior art.
The following clearly describes technical solutions of embodiments in this application with reference to accompanying drawings.
For ease of understanding, a communications system to which the embodiments of this application are applied is first described. The communications system in the embodiments includes a first network device 110, a second network device 120, and a terminal device 130 that can communicate with each other.

The first network device 110 may be a private key generation center (KGC) or the like. It may be understood that the private key generation center may have different actual product names in different systems. For example, in some systems, the private key generation center is referred to as a private key generator (PKG). Certainly, a change of the product name does not affect essence of the private key generation center.
In the embodiments of this application, the second network device 120 is responsible for generating and distributing a private key of the terminal device, and is separately deployed as an independent logical function entity. The second network device 120 may be a private key generation center (KGC) or the like. It may be understood that the private key generation center may have different actual product names in different systems. For example, in some systems, the private key generation center is referred to as a private key generator (PKG). Certainly, a change of the product name does not affect essence of the private key generation center.
In the embodiments of this application, the first network device 110 and the second network device 120 generate a private key of the terminal device by using an identity-based cryptography (IBC) mechanism. In a specific implementation, the first network device 110 and the second network device 120 generate the private key of the terminal device according to the IETF standard RFC 6507. In the identity-based cryptography mechanism, a public key is a character string having a special meaning, for example, an email address or a telephone number.
In the embodiments of this application, the terminal device is a logical entity, and may be specifically any one of a user equipment, an Internet of things (IoT) device, and the like. The user equipment may be a smartphone, a smartwatch, a smart tablet, or the like. The Internet of things device may be a sensor, an electricity meter, a water meter, or the like. In a specific embodiment, the terminal device is an Internet of things device that is disposed at a special geographical location and that cannot be directly powered by a power grid but can be powered only by a battery disposed inside the Internet of things device. For example, the terminal device may be a low-power camera media device such as a smart doorbell, may be a meter device such as a smart water meter or a smart electricity meter that is disposed in a dark corner of a high building, may be a biological health device such as a heart pacemaker that is embedded in a human body, or may be a weather monitoring device disposed in a barren countryside.
To resolve the foregoing problems, the embodiments of this application provide a private key generation method and system, and a device, so that a key that is trusted by both a telecom operator and a vertical industry customer but is not controlled by either the telecom operator or the vertical industry customer can be generated. The following separately provides detailed descriptions.
201. The terminal device sends a first request to the first network device, where the first request includes a first indication, an identifier of the terminal device, and an identifier of the second network device.
In this embodiment of this application, the first indication is used to request to jointly generate a joint private key. For example, the first indication may be a data bit. When the data bit is set to 1, it indicates that jointly generating a joint private key is requested. The foregoing example is merely used as an example, and cannot be used as a specific limitation.

202. The first network device sends a third request to the second network device, where the third request includes the identifier of the terminal device, a first global public key, and a first public validation token.
In this embodiment of this application, the first global public key is a public key held by the first network device. The first global public key is generated by the first network device based on a global private key and a global parameter of the first network device. For example, in the RFC 6507,
KPAK1=[KSAK1]G, where
KPAK1 is the first global public key; KSAK1 is a first global key, where the first global key is a key held by the first network device; and G is the global parameter.
In this embodiment of this application, the first public validation token is a public validation token (PVT) generated by the first network device for the terminal device. For details of a definition of a public validation token, refer to the IETF standard RFC 6507. In a specific embodiment, the first network device may obtain the first public validation token through calculation according to the following formula:
PVT1=[v1]G, where
PVT1 is the first public validation token, v1 is a random number selected by the first network device from a finite field F_q generated by a prime number q, and G is a point on an elliptic curve.
203. The second network device returns a third response message to the first network device, where the third response message includes a second global public key and a second public validation token.
In this embodiment of this application, the second global public key is a public key held by the second network device. The second global public key is generated by the second network device based on a global private key and a global parameter of the second network device. For example, in the FRC 6507,
KPAK2=[KSAK2]G, where
KPAK2 is the second global public key; KSAK2 is a second global key, where the second global key is a key held by the second network device; and G is the global parameter.
In this embodiment of this application, the second public validation token is a public validation token generated by the second network device for the terminal device. In a specific embodiment, the second network device may obtain the second public validation token through calculation according to the following formula:
PVT2=[v2]G, where
PVT2 is the second public validation token, v2 is a random number selected by the second network device from a finite field F_q generated by a prime number q, and G is a point on an elliptic curve.
204. The second network device generates the second sub-private key based on the identifier of the terminal device, the first global public key, and the first public validation token.
In this embodiment of this application, the second network device generates the second sub-private key according to the following formula:
SSK2=KSAK2+HS*v2 mod q, where
SSK2 is the second sub-private key; KSAK2 is a second global key, where the second global key is a key held by the second network device; HS is a hash parameter; q is a prime number; and v2 is a random number selected by the second network device from a finite field F_q generated by the prime number q.
In a specific embodiment, the second network device may calculate the hash parameter according to the following formula:
HS=hash(KPAK1∥KPAK2∥ID∥PVT_U1), where
HS is the hash parameter, hash( ) is a hash function, KPAK1 is the first global public key, KPAK2 is the second global public key, ID is the identifier of the terminal device, and PVT_U1 is a first joint validation token. The first joint public validation token may be generated by the second network device according to the following formula:
PVT_U1=PVT1*PVT2, where
PVT_U1 is the first joint public validation token, PVT1 is the first public validation token generated by the first network device, and PVT2 is the second public validation token generated by the second network device. It may be understood that the foregoing example is merely used as an example, and should not constitute a specific limitation.
In this embodiment of this application, the second network device may synthesize a first joint public key based on the first joint public validation token and the device identifier, and store the first joint public key in the second network device. The first joint public key is paired with a first joint private key generated in the last step 209. For example, when the terminal device uses the first joint private key to perform signature, the second network device may use the first joint public key to perform authentication on the signature.
205. The first network device generates the first sub-private key based on the identifier of the terminal device, the second global public key, and the second public validation token.
In this embodiment of this application, the first network device generates the first sub-private key according to the following formula:
SSK1=KSAK1+HS*v1 mod q, where
SSK1 is the first sub-private key; KSAK1 is a first global key, where the first global key is a key held by the first network device; HS is a hash parameter; q is a prime number; and v1 is a random number selected by the first network device from a finite field F_q generated by the prime number q.
In a specific embodiment, the first network device may calculate the hash parameter according to the following formula:
HS=hash(KPAK1∥KPAK2∥ID∥PVT_U1), where
HS is the hash parameter, hash( ) is a hash function, KPAK1 is the first global public key, KPAK2 is the second global public key, ID is the identifier of the terminal device, and PVT_U1 is the first joint validation token.
In this embodiment of this application, the first joint public validation token may be generated by the first network device according to the following formula:
PVT_U1=PVT1*PVT2, where
PVT_U1 is the first joint public validation token, PVT1 is the first public validation token generated by the first network device, and PVT2 is the second public validation token generated by the second network device. It may be understood that the foregoing example is merely used as an example, and should not constitute a specific limitation.
In this embodiment of this application, the first joint public key in the first network device may be synthesized by the first network device based on the first joint public validation token and the device identifier, or may be sent by the second network device to the first network device by adding the first joint public key to the third response message. This is not specifically limited in this application. When the terminal device uses the first joint private key to perform signature, the first network device may use the first joint public key to perform authentication on the signature.
206. The first network device sends a first response message to the terminal device, where the first response message includes at least the first sub-private key.
207. The second network device sends a second response message to the terminal device, where the second response message includes at least the second sub-private key.
208. The terminal device synthesizes the first joint private key based on at least the first sub-private key and the second sub-private key.
In this embodiment of this application, the terminal device may be a final user of the first joint private key, for example, the terminal device uses the first joint private key to perform signature. Alternatively, the terminal device may be only a tool for synthesizing the first joint private key, to be specific, after synthesizing the first joint private key, the terminal device does not use the first joint private key to perform signature, but writes the first joint private key into a target device, so that the target device uses the first joint private key to perform signature. For example, the terminal device is a dedicated private key synthesizer. The private key synthesizer is configured to synthesize the first joint private key and write the first joint private key into the target device in a wired or wireless manner. In another embodiment, the first joint private key may be further used to perform encryption and the like. This is not specifically limited in the present disclosure.
In this embodiment of this application, the wired manner includes but is not limited to RS232, RS485, a printer port, a network cable, and the like. The wireless manner includes a long-range wireless manner and a short-range wireless manner. The long-range wireless manner includes a general packet radio service, a global system for mobile communications, second-generation to fifth-generation mobile communications technologies, even a subsequent evolved mobile communications technology, and the like. The short-range wireless manner includes but is not limited to Bluetooth, ZigBee, a wireless local area network, an ultra-wideband technology, a radio frequency identification technology, near field communication, and the like.
In a specific embodiment, the terminal device synthesizes the first sub-private key and the second sub-private key into the first joint private key according to the following formula:
SSK_1=SSK1+SSK2, where
SSK_1 is the first joint private key, SSK1 is the first sub-private key, and SSK2 is the second sub-private key. It may be understood that the terminal device may alternatively synthesize the first sub-private key and the second sub-private key into the first joint private key according to a subtraction formula:
SSK_1=SSK1−SSK2
However, in this case, the first joint public validation token is generated according to the following formula:
PVT_U1=PVT1/PVT2.
In this embodiment of this application, the first joint public key in the terminal device is synthesized by the terminal device based on the first joint public validation token and the device identifier, or is sent by the first network device to the terminal device by adding the first joint public key to the first response message, or is sent by the second network device to the terminal device by adding the first joint public key to the second response message. This is not specifically limited in this application.
In a specific embodiment, if the first joint public key in the terminal device is synthesized by the terminal device based on the first joint public validation token and the device identifier, the terminal device needs to determine the first joint public validation token before synthesizing the first joint public key.
In specific application, the first network device may add the first public validation token to the first response message, to send the first response message to the terminal device. After receiving the first response message, the terminal device obtains the first public validation token from the first response message. The second network device may add the second public validation token to the second response message, to send the second response message to the terminal device. After receiving the second response message, the terminal device obtains the second public validation token from the second response message. Finally, the terminal device calculates the first joint public validation token according to the following formula:
PVT_U1=PVT1*PVT2, where
PVT_U1 is the first joint public validation token, PVT1 is the first public validation token, and PVT2 is the second public validation token.
In specific application, to reduce a calculation amount of the terminal device, the first network device may add the first joint public validation token in the first network device to the first response message, to send the first response message to the terminal device. After receiving the first response message, the terminal device obtains the first joint public validation token from the first response message.
In specific application, to reduce a calculation amount of the terminal device, the second network device may add the first joint public validation token in the second network device to the second response message, to send the second response message to the terminal device. After receiving the second response message, the terminal device obtains the first joint public validation token from the second response message.
In this embodiment, the first network device generates the first sub-private key, the second network device generates the second sub-private key, and the terminal device synthesizes the first joint private key based on the first sub-private key and the second sub-private key. Because the first joint private key is generated based on the first sub-private key, the first joint private key can be trusted by the first network device (a vertical industry customer). In addition, because the first joint private key is generated also based on the second sub-private key, the first joint private key can also be trusted by the second network device (a telecom operator). However, the first network device knows only the first sub-private key but does not know the second sub-private key, and the second network device knows only the second sub-private key but does not know the first sub-private key. Therefore, the first joint private key is not controlled by either the telecom operator or the vertical industry customer.
301. The terminal device sends a first request to the first network device, where the first request includes a first indication, an identifier of the terminal device, an identifier of the second network device, and a third public validation token.
In this embodiment of this application, the first indication is used to request to jointly generate a joint private key. For example, the first indication may be a data bit. When the data bit is set to 1, it indicates that jointly generating a joint private key is requested. The foregoing example is merely used as an example, and cannot be used as a specific limitation.
In this embodiment of this application, the identifier of the terminal device may be a media access control address, an Internet protocol address, a mobile number, an international mobile equipment identity, an international mobile subscriber identity, an IP multimedia private identity, a temporary mobile subscriber identity, an IP multimedia public identity, a globally unique temporary UE identity, or the like.
In this embodiment of this application, the identifier of the second network device may be a media access control address, an Internet protocol address, a URL address, a public email address, a postal address, a registered entity name, or the like.
In this embodiment of this application, the third public validation token is a public validation token generated by the terminal device. In a specific embodiment, the terminal device may obtain the third public validation token through calculation according to the following formula:
PVT3=[v3]G, where
PVT3 is the third public validation token, v3 is a random number selected by the terminal device from a finite field F_q generated by a prime number q, and G is a point on an elliptic curve.

PVT_U2 is the second joint public validation token, PVT1 is the first public validation token generated by the first network device, PVT2 is the second public validation token generated by the second network device, and PVT3 is the third public validation token generated by the terminal device. It may be understood that the foregoing example is merely used as an example, and should not constitute a specific limitation.
In this embodiment of this application, the first network device may synthesize a second joint public key based on the second joint public validation token and the device identifier, and store the second joint public key in the first network device. The second joint public key is paired with a second joint private key generated in the last step 309. For example, when the terminal device uses the second joint private key to perform signature, the first network device may use the second joint public key to perform authentication on the signature.
306. The second network device generates a second sub-private key based on the second parameter set, where the second parameter set includes the identifier of the terminal device, the first global public key, the first public validation token, and the third public validation token.

Alternatively, the terminal device may be only a tool for synthesizing the second joint private key, to be specific, after synthesizing the second joint private key, the terminal device does not use the second joint private key to perform signature, but writes the second joint private key into a target device, so that the target device uses the second joint private key to perform signature. For example, the terminal device is a dedicated private key synthesizer. The private key synthesizer is configured to synthesize the second joint private key and write the second joint private key into the target device in a wired or wireless manner. In another embodiment, the second joint private key may be further used to perform encryption and the like. This is not specifically limited in the present disclosure.

In a specific embodiment, the terminal device synthesizes the first sub-private key and the second sub-private key into the second joint private key according to the following formula:
SSK_2=SSK1+SSK2+HS*v0 mod q, where

This is not specifically limited in this application.
In a specific embodiment, if the second joint public key in the terminal device is synthesized by the terminal device based on the second joint public validation token and the device identifier, the terminal device needs to determine the second joint public validation token before synthesizing the second joint public key.
In specific application, the first network device may add the second joint public validation token in the first network device to the first response message, to send the first response message to the terminal device. After receiving the first response message, the terminal device obtains the second joint public validation token from the first response message.
In specific application, the second network device may add the second joint public validation token in the second network device to the second response message, to send the second response message to the terminal device. After receiving the second response message, the terminal device obtains the second joint public validation token from the second response message.
In specific application, the first network device may add the first public validation token to the first response message, to send the first response message to the terminal device. After receiving the first response message, the terminal device obtains the first public validation token from the first response message. The second network device may add the second public validation token to the second response message, to send the second response message to the terminal device. After receiving the second response message, the terminal device obtains the second public validation token from the second response message. Finally, the terminal device calculates the second joint public validation token according to the following formula:
PVT_U2=PVT1*PVT2*PVT3, where
PVT_U2 is the second joint public validation token, PVT1 is the first public validation token, PVT2 is the second public validation token, and PVT3 is the third public validation token.
In this embodiment, the first network device generates the first sub-private key, the second network device generates the second sub-private key, and the terminal device synthesizes the second joint private key based on the first sub-private key, the second sub-private key, and a terminal device-specific parameter (v0). Because the second joint private key is generated based on the first sub-private key, the second joint private key can be trusted by the first network device (a vertical industry customer). In addition, because the second joint private key is generated also based on the second sub-private key, the second joint private key can also be trusted by the second network device (a telecom operator). However, the first network device knows only the first sub-private key but does not know the second sub-private key and the terminal device-specific parameter, and the second network device knows only the second sub-private key but does not know the first sub-private key and the terminal device-specific parameter. Therefore, the joint private key is not controlled by either the telecom operator or the vertical industry customer. In addition, because the first network device and the second network device cannot obtain the terminal device-specific parameter even if cooperating with each other, the first network device and the second network device cannot decrypt the second joint private key even if cooperating with each other. Therefore, security of the second joint private key can be further improved.
