Title:
Proxy Re-Encryption Schemes with Key Privacy from LWE

Authors: Le Trieu Phong, Lihua Wang, Yoshinori Aono, Manh Ha Nguyen, Xavier Boyen

Abstract:

Proxy re-encryption (PRE) is a cryptographic primitive in which a proxy can transform Alice’s ciphertexts into ones decryptable by Bob. Key-private PRE specifies an additional level of security, requiring that proxy keys leak no information on the identities of Alice and Bob. In this paper, we build two key-private PRE schemes: (1) we propose a CPA-secure key-private PRE scheme in the standard model, and (2) we then transform it into a CCA-secure scheme in the random oracle model. Both schemes enjoy following properties: both are uni-directional and the CPA-secure one is a multi-hop scheme. In addition, the security of our schemes is based on the hardness of the standard Learning-With-Errors (LWE) problem, itself reducible from worst-case lattice hard problems that are conjectured immune to quantum cryptanalysis, or ``post-quantum’'. We implement the CPA-secure scheme and point out that, among many applications, it can be sufficiently used for the practical task of key rotation over encrypted data.
