Simple Construction of PEKS from LWE-Based IBE in the Standard Model
摘要
Public key encryption with keyword search (PEKS) enables one to perform search on encrypted data. In 2005, Abdalla et al. proved that PEKS can be generically constructed from anonymous identity-based encryption (IBE) schemes. To the best of our knowledge, all existing lattice-based PEKS schemes have been constructed by this conversion. In this paper, we simplify the generically constructed PEKS schemes when the underlying IBE is the lattice-based scheme proposed by Agrawal et al. (EUROCRYPT 2010) or its variants. Then, we prove that the new construction satisfies the essential properties for PEKS. Our framework includes the most efficient new LWE-based PEKS in the standard model. Moreover, our methodology can be applied to PEKS with advanced functionalities.
