Summary :

An anonymous identity based encryption (anonymous IBE) scheme requires that an adversary can not determine the identity of the recipient from a ciphertext encrypted by the corresponding public key. The anonymity was formalized in previous works [1],[13], and this can be considered under chosen plaintext attack and adaptive chosen ciphertext attack, yielding two notions of security, ID-II-CPA and ID-II-CCA, where II denotes "indistinguishability of identities." However, how to obtain an ID-II-CCA secure anonymous IBE in the random oracle model is still a challenging problem. We firstly propose a new notion of plaintext awareness in the two identities setting, called PATI. Secondly, we prove that the IBE scheme is ID-II-CCA secure if it is PATI secure. Finally, we propose the first generic conversion for anonymous IBE from ID-II-CPA to ID-II-CCA in the random oracle model.
