Abstract

Hierarchical identity-based encryption (HIBE) is a generalization of identity-based encryption (IBE) which allows for a hierarchy of identities where any parent identities can derive secret keys for child identities. In this paper, we propose a new HIBE scheme with constant size ciphertexts and short parameters in prime order groups using symmetric pairing. We use a new technique called "hybrid identity vector" to make the key derivation feasible. Our scheme is proven fully secure under the DBDH and D-Linear assumptions by using dual system encryption. Based on our HIBE scheme, we propose a new WIBE (IBE with wildcards) scheme with constant size ciphertexts.
