At EUROCRYPT 2005, Sahai and Waters presented the Fuzzy Identity Based Encryption (Fuzzy-IBE) which could be used for biometrics and attribute-based encryption in the selective-identity model. When a secure Fuzzy-IBE scheme in the selective-identity model is transformed to full identity model it exist an exponential loss of security. In this paper, we use the CPA secure Gentry's IBE (exponent i...

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...

In a fuzzy identity-based encryption (IBE) scheme, a user with the secret key for an identity ID is able to decrypt a ciphertext encrypted with another identity ID′ if and only if ID and ID′ are within a certain distance of each other as judged by some metric. Fuzzy IBE also allows to encrypt a document to all users that have a certain set of attributes. In 2005, Sahai and Waters first proposed...

Abstract In this paper, we have introduced anti fuzzy quasi-ideals, anti fuzzy bi-(generalized bi-) ideals and anti fuzzy left (right, two-sided) ideals in LA-semigroup. Further we have characterized an intra-regular LA-semigroup by the properties of their anti fuzzy left (right, two-sided) ideals, anti fuzzy bi(generalized bi-)ideals, anti fuzzy interior ideals and anti fuzzy quasi-ideals. Fur...

We introduce a new cryptographic primitive which is the signature analogue of fuzzy identity based encryption(IBE). We call it fuzzy identity based signature(IBS). It possesses similar error-tolerance property as fuzzy IBE that allows a user with the private key for identity ω to decrypt a ciphertext encrypted for identity ω′ if and only if ω and ω′ are within a certain distance judged by some ...

Let R be a commutative hyperring with identity. We introduceand study prime fuzzy hyperideals of R. We investigate the Zariski topologyon FHspec(R), the spectrum of prime fuzzy hyperideals of R.

We characterize the fuzzy ideal generated by a fuzzy subset in a semigroup and the fuzzy interior ideal generated by a fuzzy subset in a semigroup. Our work generalizes the characterizations ([8]) of those fuzzy ideals generated by fuzzy subsets in semigroups with an identity element.

We characterize the fuzzy ideal generated by a fuzzy subset in a semigroup and the fuzzy interior ideal generated by a fuzzy subset in a semigroup. Our work generalizes the characterizations ([8]) of those fuzzy ideals generated by fuzzy subsets in semigroups with an identity element.

The fundamental concept of a fuzzy set, introduced by Zadeh in his classic paper [5] of 1965, has been applied by many authors to generalize some of the basic notions of algebra. In this note we characterize the semigroups for which each fuzzy ideal is prime, also the semigroups for which each fuzzy right ideal is prime. In Section 2, we prove that a semigroup is fully fuzzy prime if and only i...
