On the Security of Publicly Verifiable Anonymous IBE Scheme in the Standard Model
How to create an identity-based encryption (IBE) scheme with tight chosen-ciphertext attacks (CCA) security based on the static assumption is an open problem. A publicly verifiable anonymous IBE scheme designed in the standard model claimed that the CCA security of proposed scheme was proved based on the classic static assumption. However
in this paper
we demonstrate that the previous IBE scheme cannot achieve the claimed CCA security because the ciphertext was extensile. In other words
a valid encrypted ciphertext can be forged by any adversary from a known ciphertext. To analyze the security of the previous IBE scheme
two methods are proposed based on the criterion of ciphertext equality. Additionally
based on the analysis of the previous IBE scheme
we point out the shortcomings of the original security proof.
