Abstract

Blaze et al. in 1998 introduced the concept of proxy re-encryption, which allows a proxy to transform a ciphertext computed under Alice's public key into one that can be opened under Bob's decryption key. In CCS'07, Canetti et al. proposed an IND-PRE-CCA2 bidirectional proxy re-encryption scheme, and later, Libert et al. proposed another IND-PRE-CCA2 secure unidirectional proxy re-encryption. However, both schemes rely on the costly bilinear pairings. In CANS'08, Deng et al. proposed the first IND-PRE-CCA2 secure proxy re-encryption without parings. Later, in PKC'09, Shao et al. proposed another IND-PRE-CCA2 secure proxy re-encryption without parings. But both of these schemes prove their security in the random oracle. In this paper, based on Hanaoka's efficient chosen ciphertext secure public key encryption under the computational Diffie-Hellman assumption, we present two new interesting bidirectional proxy re-encryption schemes, which are restricted IND-PRE-CCA2 secure without pairing nor random oracle.

Proxy re-encryption allows a proxy to transform a ciphertext computed under Alice's public key into one that can be opened under Bob's decryption key. In CANS'08, Deng et al. proposed the first bidirectional IND-PRE-CCA2 secure proxy re-encryption without parings. Later, in PKC'09, Shao et al. proposed the first unidirectional IND-PRE-CCA2 secure proxy re-encryption without parings. But both of these schemes prove their security in the random oracle. They left an open problem of constructing (bidirectional or unidirectional) IND-PRE-CCA2 secure proxy re-encryption scheme in the standard model yet without pairings. In this paper, we try to solve this open problem by proposing two new restricted IND-PRE-CCA2 secure bidirectional proxy re-encryption schemes without pairing nor random oracle.

Toward CCA-secure bidirectional proxy re-encryption without pairing nor random oracle

Proxy re-encryption, introduced by Blaze et al. in 1998, allows a proxy to transform a ciphertext computed under Alice's public key into one that can be opened under Bob's decryption key. An open problem of constructing (bidirectional or unidirectional) IND-PRE-CCA2 secure proxy re-encryption scheme in the standard model yet without pairings was left until now. In this paper, based on Hanaoka's efficient chosen ciphertext secure public key encryption under the computational Diffie-Hellman assumption, we try to solve this open problem by presenting two new bidirectional proxy re-encryption schemes, which are restricted IND-PRE-CCA2 secure without pairing nor random oracle.

New CCA-Secure Proxy Re-encryption Scheme without Random Oracles

Xu An Wang, Ping Wei, Minqing Zhang

Proxy re-encryption (PRE) allows a ciphertext computed under Alice's public key to be transformed to those which can be decrypted by Bob. In PKC'08, Libert and Vergnaud proposed the first unidirectional RCCA-secure PRE scheme in the standard model. They left the open problem of constructing unidirectional CCA-secure PRE scheme in the standard model open. Until recently, this open problem was solved by Weng et al. and Shao et al. independently. In this paper, based on Shao et al.'s proposal, we give a new efficient CCA-secure PRE scheme without random oracles and prove its security.

Certificateless Proxy Re-Encryption Without Pairing: Revisited

Akshayaram Srinivasan, Chandrasekharan Pandu Rangan

Proxy Re-Encryption was introduced by Blaze, Bleumer and Strauss to efficiently solve the problem of delegation of decryption rights. In proxy re-encryption, a semi-honest proxy transforms a ciphertext intended for Alice to a ciphertext of the same message for Bob without learning anything about the underlying message. From its introduction, several proxy re-encryption schemes in the Public Key In-frastructure (PKI) and Identity (ID) based setting have been proposed. In practice, systems in the public key infrastructure suffer from the certificate management problem and those in identity based setting suffer from the key escrow problem. Certificateless Proxy Re-encryption schemes enjoy the advantages provided by ID-based constructions without suffering from the key escrow problem. In this work, we construct the first unidirectional, single-hop CCA-secure certificateless proxy re-encryption scheme without pairing by extending the PKI based construction of Chow et al. proposed in 2010. We prove its security in the random oracle model under the Computational Diffie-Hellman (CDH) assumption. Prior to this work, the only secure certificateless proxy re-encryption scheme is due to Guo et al. proposed in 2013 using bilinear pairing. The construction proposed in this work is more efficient than that system and its security relies on more standard assumptions. We also show that the recently proposed construction of Yang et al. is insecure with respect to the security model considered in this work.

CCA-secure Identity Based Proxy Re-encryption Based on a Variant of BB1 IBE

Xu An Wang, Xiaoyuan Yang, Junru Hu

In 1998, Blaze, Bleumer, and Strauss proposed a kind of cryptographic primitive called proxy re-encryption. In proxy re-encryption, a proxy can transform a ciphertext computed under Alice's public key into one that can be opened under Bob's decryption key. In this paper, with the help of the PKG, we construct a CCA-secure identity based proxy reencryption scheme based on a variant of BBi identity based encryption (IBE), we also prove its security in the random oracle model.

Improving the Security of an Efficient Unidirectional Proxy Re-Encryption Scheme

Sébastien Canard, Julien Devigne, Fabien Laguillaumie

A proxy re-encryption (PRE) scheme allows a designated proxy, that has beforehand received aso-called re-encryption key, to translate a ciphertext intended to one user to a ciphertext intendedto another one. Traditionally, the re-encryption key is generated at the initiative of the initialreceiver and ideally, no secret keys should be known to the proxy. Such scheme is said unidirectionalif the transformation from one user to another does not necessarily imply the possibility tomake the inverse transformation. Regarding the literature on unidirectional proxy re-encryption, itseems hard to prove the strongest security level (namely indistinguishability under chosen ciphertextattacks - IND-CCA) of such schemes. Most of the time, PRE either reaches a chosen-plaintextsecurity or a replayable CCA security. At Africacrypt 2010, Chow, Weng, Yang and Deng proposeda scheme that satisfies CCA security in the random oracle model. However, their modelcan actually be strengthen. Indeed, we show in this paper how to modify this scheme so that itsimproved security achieves a full CCA security. In particular, we now allow the adversary of theCCA security for re-encryption to corrupt the user i′ who is the initial receiver of the challengedciphertext and at the same time to obtain the re-encryption key from i′ to the targeted users. Theresulting scheme is therefore a fully secure PRE which does not rely on pairings, and secure in therandom oracle model. It can be implemented efficiently with any traditional modular arithmetic.
