Efficient Chosen-Ciphertext Secure Identity-Based Encryption with Wildcards

Abstract

Abstract. We propose new instantiations of chosen-ciphertext secure identitybased encryption schemes with wildcards (WIBE). Our schemes outperform all existing alternatives in terms of efficiency as well as security. We achieve these results by extending the hybrid encryption (KEM–DEM) framework to the case of WIBE schemes. We propose and prove secure one generic construction in the random oracle model, and one direct construction in the standard model. 1

From Selective to Full Security: Semi-Generic Transformations in the Standard Model.

Michel Ferreira Abdalla, Dario Fiore, Vadim Lyubashevsky

In this paper, we propose an efficient, standard model, semi-generic transformation of selectivesecure (Hierarchical) Identity-Based Encryption schemes into fully secure ones. The main step is a procedure that uses admissible hash functions (whose existence is implied by collision-resistant hash functions) to convert any selective-secure wildcarded identity-based encryption (WIBE) scheme into a fully secure (H)IBE scheme. Since building a selective-secure WIBE, especially with a selective-secure HIBE already in hand, is usually much less involved than directly building a fully secure HIBE, this transform already significantly simplifies the latter task. This black-box transformation easily extends to schemes secure in the Continual Memory Leakage (CML) model of Brakerski et al. (FOCS 2010), which allows us obtain a new fully secure IBE in that model. We furthermore show that if a selective-secure HIBE scheme satisfies a particular security notion, then it can be generically transformed into a selective-secure WIBE. We demonstrate that several current schemes already fit this new definition, while some others that do not obviously satisfy

Chosen-Ciphertext Secure Fuzzy Identity-Based Key Encapsulation without ROM.

Liming Fang, Jiandong Wang, Yongjun Ren +2 more

Abstract. We use hybrid encryption with Fuzzy Identity-Based Encryption (Fuzzy-IBE) schemes, and present the first and efficient fuzzy identity-based key encapsulation mechanism (Fuzzy-IB-KEM) schemes which are chosen-ciphertext secure (CCA) without random oracle in the selective-ID model. To achieve these goals, we consider Fuzzy-IBE schemes as consisting of separate key and data encapsulation mechanisms (KEM-DEM), and then give the definition of Fuzzy-IB-KEM. Our main idea is to enhance Sahai and Waters ' "large universe " construction, chosen-plaintext secure (CPA) Fuzzy-IBE, by adding some redundant information to the ciphertext to make it CCA-secure.

Efficient Generic Construction of CCA-Secure Identity-Based Encryption from Randomness Extraction

Joonsang Baek, Duncan S. Wong, Jin Li +1 more

We propose a generic construction that yields efficient identity-based encryption (IBE) schemes secure against chosen ciphertext attack (CCA) in the standard model. Our construction extends Kiltz et al.'s (Eurocrypt '09) method of constructing CCA-secure public-key encryption schemes via randomness extraction to the identity-based setting. The main idea of our construction is to transform ‘|$\epsilon _1$|-almost |$\kappa $|-entropic’ and valid/invalid ciphertext indistinguishable (VI-IND) identity-based hash proof system to the one that satisfies the stronger ‘|$\epsilon _2$|-universal’ and VI-IND property. This transformation is realized by a randomness extractor based on the 4-wise hash function. We demonstrate that our generic construction can produce CCA-secure IBE schemes whose efficiency is comparable with the most efficient but non-generic CCA-secure IBE schemes without random oracles in the literature.

Attribute-based Authenticated Key Exchange.

M. Choudary Gorantla, Colin Boyd, Juan Manuel González Nieto

Abstract. We introduce the concept of attribute-based authenticated key exchange (AB-AKE) within the framework of ciphertext policy attribute-based systems. A notion of AKE-security for AB-AKE is presented based on the security models for group key exchange protocols and also taking into account the security requirements generally considered in the ciphertext policy attribute-based setting. We also extend the paradigm of hybrid encryption to the ciphertext policy attribute-based encryption schemes. A new primitive called encapsulation policy attribute-based key encapsulation mechanism (EP-AB-KEM) is introduced and a notion of chosen ciphertext security is defined for EP-AB-KEMs. We propose an EP-AB-KEM from an existing attribute-based encryption scheme and show that it achieves chosen ciphertext security in the generic group and random oracle models. We present a generic one-round AB-AKE protocol that satisfies our AKE-security notion. The protocol is generically constructed from any EP-AB-KEM that satisfies chosen ciphertext security. Instantiating the generic AB-AKE protocol with our EP-AB-KEM will result in a concrete one-round AB-AKE protocol also secure in the generic group and random oracle models.

Identity-Based Threshold Decryption Schemes Secure against Chosen Ciphertext Attacks in the Standard Model

Mei Qi, He Da

We propose two efficient Identity-Based threshold decryption schemes.They are proved secure against chosen ciphertext attacks under the standard decisional bilinear Diffie-Hellman assumption.The first one is constructed from(one of) the Selective ID-Based Encryption(Selective-IBE) scheme proposed by Boneh and Boyen recently,yet the second one is transformed from the Full ID-Based Encryption(Full-IBE) scheme obtained by Waters.As the based IBE schemes,the attacker in the first proposal has to choose the challenge identity before the common parameter is generated.while the attacker in the second one could choose the identity adaptively.To the best of our knowledge,previous related schemes could only be proved secure in the random oracle model.

Forward-secure identity-based encryption with direct chosen-ciphertext security in the standard model

Yang Lu, Jiguo Li

The paradigm of forward security provides a promising approach to deal with the key exposure problem as it can effectively minimize the damage caused by the key exposure. In this paper, we develop a new forward-secure identity-based encryption scheme without random oracles. We formally prove that the proposed scheme is secure against adaptive chosen-ciphertext attacks in the standard model. In the proposed scheme, the running time of the private key extraction and decryption algorithms and the sizes of the user's initial private key and the ciphertext are independent on the total number of time periods, and any other performance parameter has at most log-squared complexity in terms of the total number of time periods. Compared with the previous forward-secure identity-based encryption schemes, the proposed scheme enjoys obvious advantage in the overall performance. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first forward-secure identity-based encryption scheme that achieves direct chosen-ciphertext security in the standard model.
