Title:
Scalable, Server-Passive, User-Anonymous Timed Release Public Key Encryption from Bilinear Pairing
Authors: Ian F. Blake, Aldar C-F. Chan
Abstract:We consider the problem of sending messages into the
future, commonly known as timed release cryptography. Existing
schemes for this task either solve the relative time problem with
uncontrollable, coarse-grained release time (time-lock puzzle
approach) or do not provide anonymity to sender and/or receiver
and are not scalable (server-based approach). Using a bilinear
paring on any Gap Diffie-Hellman group, we solve this problem by
giving a scalable, server-passive and user-anonymous timed release
public-key encryption scheme which allows precise absolute release
time specifications. Unlike the existing server-based schemes,
the trusted time server in our scheme is completely passive — no
interaction between it and the sender or receiver is needed; it is
even not aware of the existence of a user, thus assuring the
anonymity of both the sender and receiver of a message and the
privacy of the message. Besides, our scheme also has a number of
desirable properties including self-authenticated time-bound key
updates, a single form of update for all receivers, simple
public-key renewal and key insulation, making it a scalable and appealing solution.
