Multi-recipient cryptographic schemes provide secure communication, between one sender and multiple recipients, in a multi-party group. Providing secure multi-party communication is very challenging, especially in dynamic networks. Existing multi-recipient cryptographic schemes pose a variety of limitations. These include high computational overhead for both encryption and decryption, additional communication overhead and high setup cost due to change in membership, and collusion among recipients. In order to overcome these limitations, this paper introduces a novel asymmetric multi-recipient cryptographic scheme, AMOUN. In the proposed scheme, to better utilize network resources, the sender transmits a ciphertext containing different messages to multiple recipients, where each recipient only allowed to retrieve its own designated message. Security analysis demonstrates that the proposed scheme is indistinguishable under adaptive chosen plaintext attack. Quantitative analysis reveals that lightweight AMOUN shows lower average computational cost than both RSA and Multi-RSA, for both encryption and decryption, even when the key sizes are four times larger. For a given prime size, in case of encryption, AMOUN shows 98 respectively. For decryption, AMOUN shows a performance improvement of 99 compared to RSA and Multi-RSA.
