Abstract

Broadcasters transmit not only encrypted content but also encrypted personalized messages to individual users. The current broadcasting services employ an inefficient encryption scheme based on a symmetric key. On the other hand, several broadcast encryption schemes using a public key have been proposed in which the broadcaster encrypts a message for some subset S of users with a public key and any user in S can decrypt the broadcast with his/her private key. However, it is difficult to encrypt a personalized message and transmit it to every user efficiently. In this paper, we propose a broadcast encryption scheme that has a personalized message encryption function. We show that our scheme is efficient in terms of the ciphertext size.
