Title:
A Note on IBE Performance of a Practical Application

Authors: Ştefan Maftei, Marius Supuran, Emil Simion

Abstract:

Every user can be identified online by a unique string used for email or nickname on some of the many platforms out there. IBE systems propose a simple cryptosystem in which the public key system can be omitted by using the unique string as public identification. In this paper we present a minimal email application that uses Clifford Cocks’ proposed IBE scheme. We analyze the impact of using it inside our application and how it can be improved to better fit the need of nowadays applications.
