A New Certificateless Proxy Re-encryption Scheme

In a proxy re-encryption (PRE) scheme, a semi-trusted proxy is given special information that allows it to transform cipher texts encrypted under Alice's public key into the different cipher texts that can be decrypted by Bob's secret key. In 2006, Green and Ateniese proposed identity-based proxy re-encryption schemes, in which cipher texts are transformed from one identity to another. Based on this, we propose a new construction for certificate less proxy re-encryption scheme and the corresponding security model in this paper. The scheme is proved secure against chosen-plaintext attack in the random oracle model assuming that an underlying problem related to the Decisional Bilinear Diffie-Hellman problem is computationally hard.
