Generalized (Identity-Based) Hash Proof System and Its Applications

Yu Chen and Zongyang Zhang and Dongdai Lin and Zhenfu Cao

Abstract

In this work, we generalize the paradigm of hash proof system (HPS) proposed by Cramer and Shoup [CS02]. In the central of our generalization, we lift subset membership problem to distribution distinguish problem. Our generalized HPS clarifies and encompass all the known public-key encryption (PKE) schemes that essentially implement the idea of hash proof system. Moreover, besides existing smoothness property, we introduce an additional property named anonymity for HPS. As a natural application, we consider anonymity for PKE in the presence of key-leakage, and provide a generic construction of leakage-resilient anonymous PKE from anonymous HPS. We then extend our generalization to the identity-based setting. Concretely, we generalize the paradigm of identity-based hash proof system (IB-HPS) proposed by Boneh et al. [BGH07] and Alwen et al. [ADN+ 10], and introduce anonymity for it. As an interesting application of anonymous IB-HPS, we consider security for public-key encryption with keyword search (PEKS) in the presence of token-leakage, and provide a generic construction of leakage-resilient secure PEKS from leakage-resilient anonymous IBE, which in turn is based on anonymous IB-HPS.

Note: Compared to the conference version, this version presents the generalization of (IB)-HPS, and proposes the notion of leakage-resilient PEKS with a generic construction.
