Title:
Predicate Encryption for Circuits from LWE

Authors: Sergey Gorbunov, Vinod Vaikuntanathan, Hoeteck Wee

Abstract:

In predicate encryption, a ciphertext is associated with descriptive attribute values x in addition to a plaintext \mu, and a secret key is associated with a predicate f. Decryption returns plaintext \mu if and only if f(x) = 1. Moreover, security of predicate encryption guarantees that an adversary learns nothing about the attribute x or the plaintext \mu from a ciphertext, given arbitrary many secret keys that are not authorized to decrypt the ciphertext individually. We construct a leveled predicate encryption scheme for all circuits, assuming the hardness of the subexponential learning with errors (LWE) problem. That is, for any polynomial function d = d(\secp), we construct a predicate encryption scheme for the class of all circuits with depth bounded by d(\secp), where \secp is the security parameter.
