Title:
Some General Results on Chosen-ciphertext Anonymity in Public-key Encryption
Authors: Tian Yuan
Abstract:In applications of public-key encryption schemes, anonymity(key-privacy) as well as security(data-privacy) is useful and widely desired. In this paper some new and general concepts in public-key encryption, i.e., “master-key anonymity”, “relevant master-key anonymity” and “key-integrity”, are introduced(the former two are defined for IBE schemes and the latter one is for any public-key encryption scheme). By the concept of master-key anonymity, we prove that chosen-plaintext master-key anonymity is a sufficient condition for chosen-ciphertext anonymity in the recent elegant Canetti-Halevi-Katz and Boneh-Katz construction. By the concept of key-integrity, we prove it is(together with chosen-plaintext anonymity)a sufficient/necessary condition for chosen-ciphertext anonymity. In addition to these general consequences, some practical examples are also investigated to show such concepts’ easy-to-use in practice.
