Features

Explains the state-of-the-art of the CL-PKC, including current challenges
Supplies rigorous treatment of CL-PKC that includes definitions, precise assumptions, and rigorous proofs of security
Provides vivid demonstrations of how CL-PKC can be used to solve practical problems
Describes some open problems that challenge new directions
Summary

As an intermediate model between conventional PKC and ID-PKC, CL-PKC can avoid the heavy overhead of certificate management in traditional PKC as well as the key escrow problem in ID-PKC altogether. Since the introduction of CL-PKC, many concrete constructions, security models, and applications have been proposed during the last decade. Differing from the other books on the market, this one provides rigorous treatment of CL-PKC.
Definitions, precise assumptions, and rigorous proofs of security are provided in a manner that makes them easy to understand.
