TL;DR

By utilizing any secure symmetric-key encryption scheme as a black-box primitive, this paper demonstrates a method for constructing a symmetric-key encryption scheme that remains secure even in the presence of partial key leakage.

Abstract

In a TLS session, the user is granted access solely to the encryption and decryption oracles, ℰ ( K , · ) and 𝒟 ( K , · ) , of a symmetric-key encryption scheme, which are treated as black boxes. Here, ℰ denotes the encryption algorithm, 𝒟 the decryption algorithm, and K the secret key. In this paper, by utilizing any secure symmetric-key encryption scheme as a black-box primitive, we demonstrate a method for constructing a symmetric-key encryption scheme that remains secure even in the presence of partial key leakage. This approach can, for example, enhance the security of TLS sessions. Our construction employs the All-Or-Nothing Transform (AONT) in the pre-processing phase. Therefore we provide a tighter security analysis of existing AONT constructions, and establish a lower bound on their security. Finally we propose a new AONT construction that achieves security beyond this lower bound.

Large Universe Subset Predicate Encryption with IND-CCA Security (with Constant-size Ciphertext and Keys)

Katz et al. (CANS'17) introduced Subset Predicate Encryption (SPE). This scheme is a generalization of broadcast encryption as it emulates the \emph{subset containment} predicate in the encrypted domain. They proposed two selectively IND-CPA secure SPE constructions in the small universe setting. They also showed some...
