Secure Signatures and Chosen Ciphertext Security in a Quantum Computing World

Dan Boneh, Mark Zhandry

We initiate the study of quantum-secure digital signatures and quantum chosen ciphertext security. In the case of signatures, we enhance the standard chosen message query model by allowing the adversary to issue quantum chosen message queries: given a superposition of messages, the adversary receives a superposition of signatures on those messages. Similarly, for encryption, we allow the adversary to issue quantum chosen ciphertext queries: given a superposition of ciphertexts, the adversary receives a superposition of their decryptions. These adversaries model a natural ubiquitous quantum computing environment where end-users sign messages and decrypt ciphertexts on a personal quantum computer. We construct classical systems that remain secure when exposed to such quantum queries. For signatures, we construct two compilers that convert classically secure signatures into signatures secure in the quantum setting and apply these compilers to existing post-quantum signatures. We also show that standard constructions such as Lamport one-time signatures and Merkle signatures remain secure under quantum chosen message attacks, thus giving signatures whose quantum security is based on generic assumptions. For encryption, we define security under quantum chosen ciphertext attacks and present both public-key and symmetric-key constructions.

Improved unidirectional chosen-ciphertext secure proxy re-encryption

Zhao Guo-an, Fang Liming, Wang Jiandong +2 more

At PKC'08, Libert and Vergnaud presented the first construction of unidirectional proxy re-encryption scheme with chosen-ciphertext security in the standard model. The limitation of their scheme is using one time signature. In this paper, an improved unidirectional chosen-ciphertext secure proxy re-encryption scheme is proposed. Our construction is more efficient than Libert and Vergnaud's scheme by avoiding one time signature.
