Identity based encryption from the Weil pairing
Authors: D. Boneh and M. Franklin
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.
