Online social networking applications have become more and more popular in the advance of the technological age. Much of our personal information has been disclosed in social networking activities and privacy-preserving still remains a research challenge in social network. Public key encryption scheme with equality test(PKEET), which is an extension of public key encryption with keyword search (PEKS), seems to be a solution. PKEET enables the tester to check whether two given ciphertexts are derived from the same plaintext. Recently, Zhu et al. proposed a pairing-free public key encryption scheme with equality test based on the traditional public key cryptosystem. However, it suffers from certificates management issue. In this paper, we propose a pairing-free identity-based encryption scheme with authorized equality test(PF-IBEAET). The PF-IBEAET scheme also provides fine-grained authorizations. We prove that the scheme is one way secure against chosen identity and chosen ciphertext attack (OW-ID-CCA) and indistinguishable against chosen-identity and chosen-ciphertext attack (IND-ID-CCA) in the random oracle model (ROM). Performance analysis shows that the scheme achieves a better performance than similar schemes.

Abstract In the era of cloud computing, public key encryption with keyword search (PEKS) is an extremely useful cryptographic tool for searching on encryption data, whose strongest security notion is indistinguishability encryption against chosen ciphertext attack (ind-cca). Adballa et al. presented a transformation from identity based encryption (IBE) to PEKS in the Theory of Cryptography Conference 2010. This paper proposes a new framework of ind-cca secure PEKS in the standard model. Our main technical tool is a newly introduced notion of smooth projective hash function with key mapping, in which the hash key hk is mapped into another mapping projection key mhp besides the classical projection key hp. Finally, we provide an instantiation of our framework based on symmetric eXternal Diffie–Hellman assumption.

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) have problems such as limited power, weak computing power, poor communication ability, and vulnerability to attack. However, the existing encryption methods cannot effectively solve the above problems when applied to WSN. To this end, according to WSN’s characteristics and based on the identity-based encryption idea, an improved identity-based encryption algorithm (IIBE) is proposed, which can effectively simplify the key generation process, reduce the network traffic, and improve the network security. The design idea of this algorithm lies between the traditional public key encryption and identity-based public tweezers’ encryption. Compared with the traditional public key encryption, the algorithm does not need a public key certificate and avoids the management of the certificate. Compared with identity-based public key encryption, the algorithm addresses the key escrow and key revocation problems. The results of the actual network distribution experiments demonstrate that IIBE has low energy consumption and high security, which are suitable for application in WSN with high requirements on security.

The idea of public key encryption with keyword search (PEKS), proposed by Boneh et al., enables one to send a trapdoor containing a encrypted keyword to query data without revealing the keyword. In Boneh et al.’s design, the trapdoor has to be transferred through a secure channel, which is both costly and inefficient. Baek et al. then proposed an efficient secure channel free public key encryption scheme with keyword search (SCF-PEKS). After that, vast amounts of research have focused on the protection against the off-line keyword guessing attack (OKGA) by enhancing the model. However, most of the PEKS/SCF-PEKS schemes developed so far are constructed by applying bilinear pairing and are susceptible to off-line keyword guessing attacks. In this paper, we propose a new SCF-PEKS scheme based on the ElGamal cryptosystem. The proposed scheme is not only secure against off-line keyword guessing attacks but also improves the efficiency.

Certificateless Public Key Encryption

Certificateless cryptography aims at combining the advantages of public key cryptography and identity based cryptography to avoid the certificate management and the key escrow problem. In this paper, we present a novel certificateless public key encryption scheme on the elliptic curve over the ring, whose security is based on the hardness assumption of Bilinear Diffie-Hellman problem and factoring the large number as in an RSA protocol. Moreover, since our scheme requires only one pairing operation in decryption, it is significantly more efficient than other related schemes. In addition, based on our encryption system, we also propose a protocol to protect the confidentiality and integrity of information in the scenario of Internet of Things with constrained resource nodes.

Chosen Ciphertext Attack

We present several new and fairly practical public-key encryption schemes and prove them secure against adaptive chosen ciphertext attack. One scheme is based on Paillier's Decision Composite Residuosity (DCR) assumption, while another is based in the classical Quadratic Residuosity (QR) assumption. The analysis is in the standard cryptographic model, i.e., the security of our schemes does not rely on the Random Oracle model.<br /> <br />We also introduce the notion of a universal hash proof system. Essentially, this is a special kind of non-interactive zero-knowledge proof system for an NP language. We do not show that universal hash proof systems exist for all NP languages, but we do show how to construct very efficient universal hash proof systems for a general class of group-theoretic language membership problems.<br /> <br />Given an efficient universal hash proof system for a language with certain natural cryptographic indistinguishability properties, we show how to construct an efficient public-key encryption schemes secure against adaptive chosen ciphertext attack in the standard model. Our construction only uses the universal hash proof system as a primitive: no other primitives are required, although even more efficient encryption schemes can be obtained by using hash functions with appropriate collision-resistance properties. We show how to construct efficient universal hash proof systems for languages related to the DCR and QR assumptions. From these we get corresponding public-key encryption schemes that are secure under these assumptions. We also show that the Cramer-Shoup encryption scheme (which up until now was the only practical encryption scheme that could be proved secure against adaptive chosen ciphertext attack under a reasonable assumption, namely, the Decision Diffie-Hellman assumption) is also a special case of our general theory.
