Title:
Simulation without the Artificial Abort: Simplified Proof and Improved Concrete Security for Waters’ IBE Scheme
Authors: Mihir Bellare, Thomas Ristenpart
Abstract:Waters’ variant of the Boneh-Boyen IBE scheme is attractive because of its efficency, applications, and security attributes,but suffers from a relatively complex proof with poor concrete security. This is due in part to the proof’s ``artificial abort’’ step, which has then been inherited by numerous derivative works. It has often been asked whether this step is necessary. We show that it is not, providing a new proof that eliminates this step. The new proof is not only simpler than the original one but offers better concrete security for important ranges of the parameters. As a result, one can securely use smaller groups, resulting in significant efficiency improvements.
