Many signature schemes currently in use rely on certificates for
authentication of identity.  In Identity-based cryptography, this
adds unnecessary overhead and administration.  The Elliptic Curve-based
Certificateless Signatures for Identity-based Encryption (ECCSI)
signature scheme described in this document is certificateless.
This scheme has the additional advantages of low bandwidth and low
computational requirements.  This document is not an Internet Standards 
Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.
