Attribute‐based encryption implies identity‐based encryption

Attribute-based encryption implies identity-based encryption

In this short paper we formally prove that designing attribute-based encryption schemes cannot be easier than designing identity-based encryption schemes. In more detail, we show how an attribute-based encryption scheme which admits, at least, AND policies can be combined with a collision-resistant hash function to obtain an identity-based encryption scheme. Even if this result may seem natural...

Adaptive Secure-Channel Free Public-Key Encryption with Keyword Search Implies Timed Release Encryption

As well-known results, timed-release encryption (TRE) and public key encryption scheme with keyword search (PEKS) are very close to identity-based encryption (IBE), respectively. It seems natural that there is a close relationship between TRE and PEKS. However, no explicit bridge has been shown between TRE and PEKS so far. In this paper, we show that TRE can be generically constructed by PEKS w...

Cryptanalysis of GSM encryption algorithm A5/1

The A5/1 algorithm is one of the most famous stream cipher algorithms used for over-the-air communication privacy in GSM. The purpose of this paper is to analyze several weaknesses of A5/1, including an improvement to an attack and investigation of the A5/1 state transition. Biham and Dunkelman proposed an attack on A5/1 with a time and data complexity of 239.91and 221.1, ...
