A New Paradigm of Hybrid Encryption Scheme
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we show that a key encapsulation mechanism (KEM) does not have to be IND-CCA secure in the construction of hybrid encryption schemes, as was previously believed. That is, we present a more efficient hybrid encryption scheme than Shoup [12] by using a KEM which is not necessarily IND-CCA secure. Nevertheless, our scheme is secure in the sense of IND-CCA under the DDH assumption in the standard model. This result is further generalized to universal2 projective hash families.

Secure Hybrid Encryption from Weakened Key Encapsulation
We put forward a new paradigm for building hybrid encryption schemes from constrained chosen-ciphertext secure (CCCA) key-encapsulation mechanisms (KEMs) plus authenticated symmetric encryption. Constrained chosen-ciphertext security is a new security notion for KEMs that we propose. CCCA has less demanding security requirements than standard chosen-ciphertext (CCA) security (since it requires ...
متن کاملA Note on An Encryption Scheme of Kurosawa and Desmedt
Recently, Kurosawa and Desmedt presented a new hybrid encryption scheme which is secure against adaptive chosen-ciphertext attack. Their scheme is a modification of the Cramer-Shoup encryption scheme. Its major advantage with respect to CramerShoup is that it saves the computation of one exponentiation and produces shorter ciphertexts. However, the proof presented by Kurosawa and Desmedt relies...
متن کاملAn improved hybrid image watermarking scheme in shearlet and wavelet domain
Watermarking is one of the best solutions for copyright protection and authentication of multimedia contents. In this paper a hybrid scheme is proposed using wavelet and shearlet transforms with singular value decomposition. For better security, Arnold map is used for encryption. Examining the results and comparing with other methods show that this hybrid proposed scheme with simultaneous utili...
متن کاملTag-KEM/DEM: A New Framework for Hybrid Encryption and New Analysis of Kurosawa-Desmedt KEM
This paper presents a novel framework for generic construction of hybrid encryption schemes secure against chosen ciphertext attack. Our new framework yields new and more efficient CCA-secure schemes, and provides insightful explanations about existing schemes that do not fit into the previous frameworks. This could result in finding future improvements. Moreover, it allows immediate conversion...
متن کاملA new paradigm of chosen ciphertext secure public key encryption scheme
For all current adaptive chosen ciphertext(CCA) secure public key encryption schemes in standard model there are two operations in the decryption algorithm, “validity check” and decryption. The decryption algorithm returns the corresponding plaintext if the ciphertext is valid otherwise it returns a rejection symbol ⊥. We call this paradigm “invalid ciphertext rejection”. However the “validity ...
