Abstract

At ACISP 2017, Wu et al. provided an identity-based encryption scheme with equality test that considers to prevent insider attacks. In this paper, we demonstrate that their scheme does not achieve the claimed security requirement by presenting an attack. Subsequently, we provide a modification of their construction.
