Abstract

Certificate-based encryption has been recently proposed as a means to simplify the certificate management inherent to traditional public key encryption. In this paper, we present an efficient certificate-based encryption scheme which is fully secure in the standard model. Our construction is more efficient (in terms of computational cost and ciphertext size) than any of the previous constructions known without random oracles.
