Abstract
In this chapter, we present definitions and notation. We start with the definition of public key encryption schemes and their security models. This forms the basis of the corresponding notions for identity-based encryption schemes. The definition of IBE schemes is given and extended to that of HIBE schemes. Security model for HIBE schemes is defined. This security model can be specialised to that of IBE schemes by fixing the number of levels to one.
