New Anonymity Notions for Identity-Based Encryption
نویسندگان
چکیده
Identity-based encryption is a very convenient tool to avoid key management. Recipient-privacy is also a major concern nowadays. To combine both, anonymous identity-based encryption has been proposed. This paper extends this notion to stronger adversaries (the authority itself). We discuss this new notion, together with a new kind of non-malleability with respect to the identity, for several existing schemes. Interestingly enough, such a new anonymity property has an independent application to password-authenticated key exchange. We thus come up with a new generic framework for password-authenticated key exchange, and a concrete construction based on pairings.

Security and Anonymity of Identity-Based Encryption with Multiple Trusted Authorities
We consider the security of Identity-Based Encryption (IBE) in the setting of multiple Trusted Authorities (TAs). In this multi-TA setting, we envisage multiple TAs sharing some common parameters, but each TA generating its own master secrets and master public keys. We provide security notions and security models for the multi-TA setting which can be seen as natural extensions of existing notio...
متن کاملRelations between semantic security and anonymity in identity-based encryption
Semantic security and anonymity are the two main properties that an identity-based encryption scheme can satisfy. Such properties can be defined in either an adaptive or a selective scenario, which differ on the moment where the attacker chooses the identity/ies that are the target of the attack. There are well-known separations between selective and adaptive semantic security on the one hand, ...
متن کاملGeneric Constructions of Biometric Identity Based Encryption Systems
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. Consideri...
متن کاملAnonymity and Time in Public-Key Encryption
In a world that is increasingly relying on digital technologies, the ability to securely communicate and distribute information is of crucial importance. Cryptography plays a key role in this context and the research presented in this thesis focuses on developing cryptographic primitives whose properties address more closely the needs of users. We start by considering the notion of robustness i...
