A tapestry of identity-based encryption: practical frameworks compared
Abstract: This paper surveys the practical benefits and drawbacks of several identitybased encryption schemes based on bilinear pairings. After providing some background on identity-based cryptography, we classify the known constructions into a handful of general approaches. We then describe efficient and fully-secure IBE and IBKEM instantiations of each approach, with reducibility to practice as the main design parameter. Finally, we catalogue the strengths and weaknesses of each construction according to a few theoretical and many applied comparison criteria.
