Abstract

A hierarchical identity-based encryption (HIBE) scheme is called anonymous if the ciphertext does not leak the identity of the recipient. Currently, anonymous HIBE schemes are constructed in composite order groups or achieve selective-ID security in prime order groups and the ciphertext size is linear in the maximum depth of hierarchy. We propose an anonymous HIBE scheme with constant size ciphertext, which is adaptive-ID secure without random oracles in prime order groups. Our scheme improves security and efficiency of the anonymous HIBE schemes simultaneously compare with the previous work.
