Generic Constructions of Biometric Identity Based Encryption Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we present a novel framework for the generic construction of biometric Identity Based Encryption (IBE) schemes, which do not require bilinear pairings and result in more efficient schemes than existing fuzzy IBE systems implemented for biometric identities. Also, we analyze the security properties that are specific to biometric IBE namely anonymity and identity privacy. Considering these notions, we present generic constructions for biometric IBE and ID-KEM based on weakly secure anonymous IBE schemes, error correcting codes and generic conversion schemes. Finally, we describe concrete applications of our framework and compare them to the existing fuzzy IBE systems in terms of time complexity.

Fuzzy Identity-Based Encryption
We introduce a new type of Identity-Based Encryption (IBE) scheme that we call Fuzzy Identity-Based Encryption. In Fuzzy IBE we view an identity as set of descriptive attributes. A Fuzzy IBE scheme allows for a private key for an identity, ω, to decrypt a ciphertext encrypted with an identity, ω′, if and only if the identities ω and ω′ are close to each other as measured by the “set overlap” di...
متن کاملCertificate-Based Encryption Without Random Oracles
We present a certificate-based encryption scheme which is fully secure in the standard model. Our scheme is based on the identity-based encryption scheme of Waters [16]. Although some generic constructions from IBE to CBE has been previously proposed, they use the Random Oracle heuristic or provide less practical schemes than ours. Finally, we point out that one of the existing generic construc...
متن کاملBounded-Collusion Identity-Based Encryption from Semantically-Secure Public-Key Encryption: Generic Constructions with Short Ciphertexts
Identity-based encryption (IBE) is a special case of public-key encryption where user identities replace public keys. Every user is given a corresponding secret key for decryption, and encryptions for his or her identity must remain confidential even to attackers who learn the secret keys associated with other identities. Several IBE constructions are known to date, but their security relies on...
متن کاملOn the (Non-)Reusability of Fuzzy Sketches and Extractors and Security Improvements in the Computational Setting
Secure sketches and fuzzy extractors enable the use of biometric data in cryptographic applications by correcting errors in noisy biometric readings and producing cryptographic materials suitable for authentication, encryption, and other purposes. Such constructions work by producing a public sketch, which is later used to reproduce the original biometric and all derived information exactly fro...
متن کاملExtensions of Public-Key, Identity-Based and Certificateless Encryption Schemes
In this work, we first study extensions and applications of the identity-based encryption (IBE) primitive, focusing on generic constructions. We first define what is meant by an identity-based key encapsulation mechanism before extending it to the multi-recipient setting. We then propose an efficient multi-recipient scheme based on bilinear maps and then move on to investigate the properties of...
