With the rapid growth of cloud storage and cloud computing services, many organisations and users choose to store the data on a cloud server for saving costs. However, due to security concerns, data of users would be encrypted before…

Identity-based encryption with equality test supporting flexible authorization (IBEET-FA) allows the equality test of underlying messages of two ciphertexts while strengthens privacy protection by allowing users (identities) to control the…

Public key encryption with equality test (PKEET), proposed by Yang et al. (CT-RSA 2010), is a variant of public key encryption that enables an equality test to determine whether two ciphertexts correspond to the same plaintext. This test…

A signcryption, which is an integration of a public key encryption and a digital signature, can provide confidentiality and authenticity simultaneously. Additionally, a signcryption associated with equality test allows a third party (e.g.,…

This paper investigates a quantum version of McEliece public-key encryption (PKE) scheme, and analyzes its security. As is well known, the security of classical McEliece PKE is not stronger than the onewayness of related classical one-way…

The McEliece public-key encryption scheme has become an interesting alternative to cryptosystems based on number-theoretical problems. Differently from RSA and ElGa- mal, McEliece PKC is not known to be broken by a quantum computer.…

Quantum public-key encryption (PKE), where public-keys and/or ciphertexts can be quantum states, is an important primitive in quantum cryptography. Unlike classical PKE (e.g., RSA or ECC), quantum PKE can leverage quantum-secure…

Today's information society relies on cryptography to achieve security goals such as confidentiality, integrity, authentication, and non-repudiation for digital communications. Here, public-key cryptosystems play a pivotal role to share…

We introduce the notion of public key encryption with secure key leasing (PKE-SKL). Our notion supports the leasing of decryption keys so that a leased key achieves the decryption functionality but comes with the guarantee that if the…
