Title: Identity-Based Encryption and the Generic Group Model Slides: slaidid-20111214
Abstract:
We provide strong evidence that identity-based encryption schemes cannot be constructed in the generic group model (as opposed to the generic bilinear group model). This result sheds some light on which number-theoretic assumptions may serve as the basis of the construction of which cryptographic primitives.
All notions mentioned in the first sentence will be defined in the talk.
