摘要

We propose a new and straightforward functional encryption scheme for the bounded-norm inner-product functionality (IPFE) in the public-key setting. We prove the security of the proposed scheme with respect to standard assumptions. Specifically, our construction is secure under the Inverse Decisional Diffie–Hellman computational hardness assumption (DDHI), which, to the best of our knowledge, is not known to imply or be implied by DDH. Along the way, we rely on a novel proof technique, chiefly exploiting the algebraic properties enabled by regarding matrices as linear maps between vector spaces. The cost of proofs is reflected in terms of efficiency, where we achieve constructions with larger keys and ciphertexts when compared to the existing schemes.
