Fully Collusion Resistant Traitor Tracing With Short Ciphertexts and Private Keys

Authors: D. Boneh, A. Sahai, and B. Waters

Abstract:
We construct a fully collusion resistant tracing traitors system with sublinear size ciphertexts and constant size private keys. More precisely, let N be the total number of users. Our system generates ciphertexts of size O(sqrt(N)) and private keys of size O(1). We first introduce a simpler primitive we call private linear broadcast encryption (PLBE) and show that any PLBE gives a tracing traitors system with the same parameters. We then show how to build a PLBE system with O(sqrt(N)) size ciphertexts. Our system uses bilinear maps in groups of composite order.
