Efficient hybrid encryption from ID-based encryption (Q2267789)

Research on efficient and secure public-key encryption (PKE) has been central in cryptography. In this paper, the authors focus on CCA(chosen ciphertext attacks)-secure cryptosystems under standard cryptographic assumptions, without using random oracles. They consider generic transformations from ID-based key encapsulation mechanism (IBKEM) to PKE. The authors present new generic transformations that are applicable to partitioned IBKEMs. Also, they show an analogue generic transformation in the threshold setting and present a concrete scheme which results in the most efficient threshold PKE scheme in the standard model.
