Simulation-Based Secure Functional Encryption in the Random Oracle Model.
Vincenzo Iovino, Karol Żebrowski
One of the main lines of research in functional encryption (FE) has consisted in studying the security notions for FE and their achievability. This study was initiated by [Boneh et al. { TCC’11, O’Neill { ePrint’10] where it was rst shown that for FE the indistinguishabilitybased (IND) security notion is not sucient in the sense that there are FE schemes that are provably IND-Secure but concretely insecure. For this reason, researchers investigated the achievability of Simulation-based (SIM) security, a stronger notion of security. Unfortunately, the above-mentioned works and others [e.g., Agrawal et al. { CRYPTO’13] have shown strong impossibility results for SIM-Security. One way to overcome these impossibility results was rst
