Title:
Functional Encryption for Quadratic Functions, and Applications to Predicate Encryption

Authors: Romain Gay

Abstract:

We present a functional encryption scheme based on standard assumptions where ciphertexts are associated with a tuple of values ((x_1,\ldots,x_n) \in \mathbb{Z}p^n), secret keys are associated with a degree-two polynomial, and the decryption of a ciphertext (\mathsf{ct}{(x_1,\ldots,x_n) \in \mathbb{Z}p^n}) with a secret key (\mathsf{sk}{P \in \mathbb{Z}_p[X_1,\ldots,X_n], \mathsf{deg}(P) \leq 2}) recovers (P(x_1,\ldots,x_n)), where the ciphertext contains only (O(n)) group elements. Our scheme, which achieves selective security based on pairings, also yields a new predicate encryption scheme that supports degree-two polynomial evaluation, generalizing both [KSW 08] and [BSW 06].
