Title: the construction of two new fuzzy identity-based encryption (IBE) schemes in the random oracle model Abstract: In this talk we discuss the construction of two new fuzzy identity-based encryption (IBE) schemes in the random oracle model. Fuzzy identity-based is a new notion that can be used for biometric authentication and attribute based authentication schemes. We show that not only do our schemes provide public parameters whose size is independent of the number of attributes in each identity (used as public key) but they also have useful structures which result in more efficient key extraction and/or encryption than the random oracle version of Sahai and Water's fuzzy IBE scheme, considered recently by Pirretti et al. We prove that the confidentiality of the proposed schemes is relative to the Bilinear Decisional Bilinear Diffie-Hellman problem.
