Summary: 
Recently, Duan and Cao proposed an multi-receiver identity-based signcryption scheme. They showed that their scheme is secure against adaptive chosen ciphertext attacks in the random oracle model. In this paper, we show that their scheme is in fact not secure against adaptive chosen ciphertext attacks under their defined security model.
