Abstract
This talk is the third one in the seminar series “Reading the Crypto Classics” for the very special summer term 2022. The idea of this seminar is to jointly read classical milestone papers in the area of cryptography, to discuss their impact and understand their relevance for current research areas. The seminar is running as an Oberseminar, but at the same time meant to be a joint reading group seminar of the CROSSING Special Interest Group on Advanced Cryptography with all interested CROSSING members being invited to participate.
This issue will cover the paper/talk
Boneh and Franklin: “Identity-Based Encryption from the Weil Pairing” (CRYPTO 2001) available at https://crypto.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/bfibe.pdf with the following abstract:
“We propose a fully functional identity-based encryption scheme (IBE). The scheme has chosen ciphertext security in the random oracle model assuming an elliptic curve variant of the computational Diffie-Hellman problem. Our system is based on the Weil pairing. We give precise definitions for secure identity based encryption schemes and give several applications for such systems.”
