Abstract

As more Internet users are getting interested in using cloud services for storing sensitive data, it motivates the user to encrypt the private data before uploading it to the cloud. There are services which allow an user to conduct searches without revealing anything about the encrypted data. This service is provided by public key encryption with keyword search. Our main contributions is the construction of a latticebased identity-based threshold decryption (IBTD) that is anonymous and indistinguishable against chosen ciphertext attacks. Furthermore, using the transformation technique from Abdalla et al. [CRYPTO’05] we present the application of our IBTD scheme which can be transformed to a distributed public key encryption with keyword search. The distributed setting allows to split the role of one server into multiple servers in order to distribute the single point of failure. Our construction uses the particularly efficient mathematical construct, called lattices that make our scheme resistant against quantum attacks. We give an efficient construction of a lattice-based IBTD scheme and prove it secure under the hardness of learning with errors (LWE) problem.
