Tightly Secure Public-Key Encryption with Equality Test Supporting Flexible Authorization in the Standard Model
Abstract
We introduce a novel Public Key Encryption with Equality Test supporting Flexible Authorization scheme offering User-Level, Ciphertext-Level, and User-Specific-Ciphertext-Level authorizations. Notably, our construction achieves security under the Decisional Diffie-Hellman assumption with a tight reduction, whereas the existing works are either not tightly secure or rely heavily on the random oracles. By relying solely on the standard DDH assumption, our scheme offers practical implementation without specialized cryptographic structures.
