TLDR
In this paper, a new type of identity-based encryption called Fuzzy Identity-Based Encryption (IBE) was introduced, where an identity is viewed as set of descriptive attributes, and a private key for an identity can decrypt a ciphertext encrypted with an identity if and only if the identities are close to each other as measured by the set overlap distance metric.Abstract:
We introduce a new type of Identity-Based Encryption (IBE) scheme that we call Fuzzy Identity-Based Encryption. In Fuzzy IBE we view an identity as set of descriptive attributes. A Fuzzy IBE scheme allows for a private key for an identity, ω, to decrypt a ciphertext encrypted with an identity, ω ′, if and only if the identities ω and ω ′ are close to each other as measured by the “set overlap” distance metric. A Fuzzy IBE scheme can be applied to enable encryption using biometric inputs as identities; the error-tolerance property of a Fuzzy IBE scheme is precisely what allows for the use of biometric identities, which inherently will have some noise each time they are sampled. Additionally, we show that Fuzzy-IBE can be used for a type of application that we term “attribute-based encryption”.
In this paper we present two constructions of Fuzzy IBE schemes. Our constructions can be viewed as an Identity-Based Encryption of a message under several attributes that compose a (fuzzy) identity. Our IBE schemes are both error-tolerant and secure against collusion attacks. Additionally, our basic construction does not use random oracles. We prove the security of our schemes under the Selective-ID security model.read more

Self-updatable encryption
TL;DR: A modular cryptosystems design methodology is suggested based on three sub-components: a primary encryption scheme, a key-revocation mechanism, and a time-evolution mechanism which controls the ciphertext self-updating via an SUE method, coordinated with the revocation (when needed).

Identity-Based Encryption with Cloud Revocation Authority and Its Applications
TL;DR: This article proposes a new revocable IBE scheme with a cloud revocation authority (CRA) to solve the two shortcomings, namely, the performance is significantly improved and the CRA holds only a system secret for all the users.

PrivICN: Privacy-preserving content retrieval in information-centric networking
TL;DR: This paper presents PrivICN: a system that enhances users privacy in ICN by protecting the confidentiality of content names and content data, which relies on a proxy encryption scheme and has several features that distinguish it from existing solutions.

How to share a secret
TL;DR: This technique enables the construction of robust key management schemes for cryptographic systems that can function securely and reliably even when misfortunes destroy half the pieces and security breaches expose all but one of the remaining pieces.

Identity-based cryptosystems and signature schemes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce a novel type of cryptographic scheme, which enables any pair of users to communicate securely and to verify each other's signatures without exchanging private or public keys, without keeping key directories, and without using the services of a third party.

Efficient identity-based encryption without random oracles
TL;DR: This work first presents their IBE construction and reduces the security of the scheme to the decisional Bilinear Diffie-Hellman (BDH) problem, and shows that their techniques can be used to build a new signature scheme that is secure under the computational Diffie -Hellman assumption without random oracles.

Efficient Selective-ID Secure Identity-Based Encryption Without Random Oracles
Dan Boneh,Xavier Boyen +1 more
TL;DR: The first secure IBE scheme without random oracles was presented in this article, where the adversary must commit ahead of time to the identity that it intends to attack, whereas in the standard model the adversary is allowed to choose this identity adaptively.
