A Single Re-encryption key based Conditional Proxy Re-Encryption Scheme

Proxy re-encryption scheme has advantage where plaintext does not get exposed during re-encryption process. This scheme is popular for sharing server-saved data in case of cloud computing or mobile office that uses server to save data. Since previous proxy re-encryption schemes can use re-encryption key over and over again, it may abuse re-encryption. To solve this problem, conditional proxy re-encryption scheme was proposed. But, it is computationally expensive generate the same number of re-encryption key with the number of condition values. In this paper, we propose an efficient conditional proxy re-encryption scheme in terms of re-encryption key generation. The proposed scheme uses only encryption and decryption process. Therefore it has advantage to generate one re-encryption key for one person. The proposed scheme is secure against chosen-ciphertext attack.
