Abstract

This paper presents a new framework for constructing fully CCA-secure predicate encryption schemes from pair encoding schemes. Our construction is the first in the context of predicate encryption which uses the technique of well-formedness proofs known from public key encryption. The resulting constructions are simpler and more efficient compared to the schemes achieved using known generic transformations from CPA-secure to CCA-secure schemes. The reduction costs of our framework are comparable to the reduction costs of the underlying CPA-secure framework. We achieve this last result by applying the dual system encryption methodology in a novel way.

Notes

  1. 1.

    For schemes, where \(\mathrm {cInd}\) is not efficiently computable from \(\mathrm {CT}\), the decapsulation oracle requires the ciphertext index as additional input.
