Title:
A Note on An Encryption Scheme of Kurosawa and Desmedt
Authors: Rosario Gennaro, Victor Shoup
Abstract: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 Cramer-Shoup is that it saves the computation of one exponentiation
and produces shorter ciphertexts.
However, the proof presented by Kurosawa and Desmedt relies on the use of
information-theoretic key derivation and message authentication functions.
In this note we present a different proof of security
which shows that the Kurosawa-Desmedt
scheme can be instantiated with any computationally secure
key derivation and message authentication functions, thus extending
the applicability of their paradigm, and improving its efficiency.
