Title:
Chosen-Ciphertext Security from Identity-Based Encryption
Authors: Ran Canetti, Shai Halevi, Jonathan Katz
Abstract:We show how to construct a CCA-secure public-key encryption scheme
from any CPA-secure identity-based encryption (IBE) scheme. Our
conversion from IBE to a CCA-secure scheme is simple,
efficient, and provably secure in the standard model (i.e., security
of the resulting scheme does not rely on the random oracle model).
In addition, the resulting scheme achieves CCA security even if the
underlying IBE scheme satisfies only a weak'' notion of security which is known to be achievable in the standard model based on the bilinear Diffie-Hellman assumption. Thus, our results yield a new construction of CCA-secure public-key encryption in the standard model. Interestingly, the resulting scheme avoids any non-interactive proofs of well-formedness’’ which were shown to
underlie all previously-known constructions.
We also extend our technique to obtain a simple and reasonably efficient
method for securing any BTE scheme against adaptive chosen-ciphertext
attacks. This, in turn, yields more efficient constructions of CCA-secure
(hierarchical) identity-based and forward-secure encryption schemes in the
standard model.
Our results — building on previous black-box separations —
rule out black-box constructions of IBE from CPA-secure public-key encryption.
