Welcome to the resource topic for 2017/543

Title:
Identity-Based Encryption from the Diffie-Hellman Assumption

Authors: Nico Döttling, Sanjam Garg

Abstract:

We provide the first constructions of identity-based encryption and hierarchical identity-based encryption based on the hardness of the (Computational) Diffie-Hellman Problem (without use of groups with pairings) or Factoring. Our construction achieves the standard notion of identity-based encryption as considered by Boneh and Franklin [CRYPTO 2001]. We bypass known impossibility results using garbled circuits that make a non-black-box use of the underlying cryptographic primitives.
