A Note on Bilinear Groups of a Large Composite Order
نویسندگان
چکیده
We remark that the structure of bilinear groups of a large composite order (at least 1024 bits) could make group operation inefficient and lose the advantages of elliptic curve cryptography which gained mainly from smaller parameter size. As of 2013, the longest parameter recommended by NIST for elliptic curves has 571 bits. From the practical point of view, such an algebraic structure is unlikely applicable to cryptographic schemes.

Beyond the Limitation of Prime-Order Bilinear Groups, and Round Optimal Blind Signatures
At Eurocrypt 2010, Freeman proposed a transformation from pairing-based schemes in composite-order bilinear groups to equivalent ones in prime-order bilinear groups. His transformation can be applied to pairing-based cryptosystems exploiting only one of two properties of composite-order bilinear groups: cancelling and projecting. At Asiacrypt 2010, Meiklejohn, Shacham, and Freeman showed that p...
متن کاملTransforming Hidden Vector Encryption Schemes from Composite to Prime Order Groups
Predicate encryption is a new type of public key encryption that enables searches on encrypted data. By using predicate encryption, we can search keywords or attributes on encrypted data without decrypting ciphertexts. Hidden vector encryption (HVE) is a special kind of predicate encryption. HVE supports the evaluation of conjunctive equality, comparison, and subset operations between attribute...
متن کاملA Profitable Sub-prime Loan: Obtaining the Advantages of Composite Order in Prime-Order Bilinear Groups
Composite-order bilinear groups provide many structural features that are useful for both constructing cryptographic primitives and enabling security reductions. Despite these convenient features, however, composite-order bilinear groups are less desirable than prime-order bilinear groups for reasons of both efficiency and security. A recent line of work has therefore focused on translating the...
متن کاملConverting Pairing-Based Cryptosystems from Composite-Order Groups to Prime-Order Groups
We develop an abstract framework that encompasses the key properties of bilinear groups of composite order that are required to construct secure pairing-based cryptosystems, and we show how to use prime-order elliptic curve groups to construct bilinear groups with the same properties. In particular, we define a generalized version of the subgroup decision problem and give explicit constructions...
متن کاملOn continuous cohomology of locally compact Abelian groups and bilinear maps
Let $A$ be an abelian topological group and $B$ a trivial topological $A$-module. In this paper we define the second bilinear cohomology with a trivial coefficient. We show that every abelian group can be embedded in a central extension of abelian groups with bilinear cocycle. Also we show that in the category of locally compact abelian groups a central extension with a continuous section can b...
