Abstract

Most of the previous proxy re-encryption schemes rely on the average-case hardness problems such as the integer factorization problems and the discrete logarithm problems. Therefore, they cannot guarantee its security under quantum analysis, since there exist quantum algorithms efficiently solving the factorization and logarithm problems. In the paper, we propose the first proxy re-encryption scheme based on the hard worst-case lattice problems. Our scheme has many useful properties as follows: Unidirectional, collusion-resistant, noninteractive, proxy invisible, key optimal, and nontransitive. We also provided the formal security proof of the proposed scheme in the random oracle model.

The proxy re-encryption allows an intermediate proxy to convert a ciphertext for Alice into a ciphertext for Bob without seeing the original message and leaking out relevant information.Unlike many prior identity based proxy re-encryption schemes which are based on the number theoretic assumptions such as large integer factorization and discrete logarithm problem.In this paper, we first propose a novel identity based proxy re-encryption scheme which is based on the hardness of standard Learning With Error(LWE) problem and is CPA secure in the standard model.This scheme can be reduced to the worst-case lattice hard problem that is able to resist attacks from quantum algorithm.The key step in our construction is that the challenger how to answer the private query under a known trapdoor matrix.Our scheme enjoys properties of the non-interactivity, unidirectionality, anonymous and so on.In this paper, we utilize primitives include G-trapdoor for lattice and sample algorithms to realize simple and efficient re-encryption.

Improved collusion‐resistant unidirectional proxy re‐encryption scheme from lattice

Xuyang Wang, Aiqun Hu, Hao Fang

Proxy re‐encryption (PRE) is a promising cryptographic structure for pervasive data sharing in cloud‐based social networks, which enables a semi‐trusted proxy to convert a ciphertext for Alice into a ciphertext for Bob without seeing the corresponding plaintext. Since the proxy is semi‐trust, a PRE scheme which can resist the collusion attack will be of great practical value. Jiang et al . in 2015 and Kim and Jeong in 2016 have proposed collusion‐resistant PRE (CR‐PRE) schemes from the lattice by a similar technique, respectively. However, through the analysis of their schemes, the authors find that both of them have defects in the construction of the re‐encryption key, which will lead to the re‐encryption ciphertext cannot be decrypted or decrypted error with high probability. In this study, the authors first point out the defects in the work of Jiang et al . 's work and Kim and Jeong's work and propose an improved collusion‐resistant unidirectional PRE scheme from lattice, based on learning with errors problems. In addition to solving the defects, CR‐PRE still has many useful properties similar to the previous schemes, such as unidirectional, collusion resistant, chosen‐plaintext attack secure and so on.

Lattice‐based multi‐use unidirectional proxy re‐encryption

Mingming Jiang, Yupu Hu, B. C. Wang +2 more

Abstract Proxy re‐encryption (PRE) is a cryptographic primitive that allows a proxy to turn an Alice's ciphertext into a Bob's ciphertext on the same plaintext. At present, there are many different PRE schemes that have been proposed with different properties. However, all of them are based on the logarithm assumption and the large integer factorization assumption except for a bidirectional PRE scheme over lattices. In this paper, we construct the first multi‐use unidirectional PRE scheme based on lattices. In addition, the generation of the PRE key does not interact with two users, and the scheme can resist collusion attacks. Moreover, it is proved chosen plaintext attack secure in the standard model based on the Learning With Errors assumption. Finally, an identity‐based PRE is obtained from the basic construction.

Collusion resistant identity-based proxy re-encryption scheme on lattice

Xiaohong Deng, Hua Xie, Weizhi Xiong

Proxy re-encryption plays an important role for data security in cloud computing and big data, but the traditional re-encryption scheme based on the classical number theory problem cannot resist quantum attack, and the lattice-based cryptosystem has been proved to have the ability to resist quantum attack, so the lattice-based re-encryption scheme has always been a research hotspot. In view of the problem that collusion-resistance and multi-hop cannot be satisfied at the same time in existing schemes, this paper proposes a new identity-based proxy re-encryption scheme on lattice. Firstly, the scheme uses trapdoors as private keys to achieve one-way anti-collusion. In addition, we construct a variant of Learning with Errors (LWE), which uses a convert algorithm to transform the user matrix and replace the vector with a uniform matrix, so that the scheme can meet the requirements of multi-hop and encrypt multiple bits of messages at one time. Theoretical analysis and experimental simulation prove that the security of the new scheme can be reduced to a decision LWE problem, which can reach the IND-sID-CPA security in the standard model and can improve the encryption efficiency while ensuring the security.

Identity-based proxy signature from lattices

Kee Sung Kim, Dowon Hong, Ik Rae Jeong

Most of the provably-secure proxy signature schemes rely on the average-case hardness problems such as the integer factorization problems and the discrete logarithm problems. Therefore, those schemes are insecure to quantum analysis algorithms, since there exist quantum algorithms efficiently solving the factorization and logarithm problems. To make secure proxy signature schemes against quantum analysis, some lattice-based proxy signature schemes are suggested. However, none of the suggested lattice-based proxy signature schemes is proxy-protected in the adaptive security model. In the paper, we propose a provably-secure ID-based proxy signature scheme based on the lattice problems. Our scheme is proxy-protected in the adaptive security model.

Blind Proxy Re-Signature Scheme Based on Isomorphisms of Polynomials

Huixian Li, Han Zhipeng, Liqin Wang +1 more

Most of the existing blind proxy re-signature schemes are designed based on the traditional public key cryptosystems, whose security relies on the hardness of big integer factoring, discrete logarithm, elliptic curve discrete logarithm, and so on. However, these problems will be unsecure when facing the attack of quantum computers. Motivated by these concerns, we proposed a blind proxy re-signature scheme based on the problem of isomorphisms of polynomials, which can resist quantum attack, and gave its security proof under the random oracle model. In the proposed scheme, the message can be kept blind by using the hash function, and the delegatee's identity can be kept anonymous by using the problem of isomorphisms of polynomials. Compared with the existing schemes, the new scheme has more secure properties, such as quantum resistance, high efficiency, message blindness, and delegatee anonymity. It is concluded that the proposed scheme has a good application prospect in the future quantum computing environment with low-power hardware.
