Abstract

Anonymous Identity Based Encryption (AIBET) scheme allows a tracer to use the tracing key to reveal the recipient's identity from the ciphertext while keeping other data anonymous. This special feature makes AIBET a promising solution to distributed IoT data security. In this paper, we construct an efficient quantum-safe Hierarchical Identity-Based cryptosystem with Traceable Identities (AHIBET) with fully anonymous ciphertexts. We prove the security of the AHIBET scheme under the Learning with Errors (LWE) problem in the standard model.
