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.
"What if your public key was not some random-looking bit string, but simply your name or email address? This idea, put forward by Adi Shamir back in 1984, still keeps cryptographers busy today. Some cryptographic primitives, like signatures, were easily adapted to this new "identity-based" setting, but for others, including encryption, it was not until recently that the first practical solutions were found. The advent of pairings to cryptography caused a boom in the current state-of-the-art is this active subfield from the mathematical background of pairing and the main cryptographic constructions to software and hardware implementation issues. This volume bundles fourteen contributed chapters written by experts in the field, and is suitable for a wide audience of scientists, grad students, and implementors alike." --Book Jacket.

This book focuses on lattice-based cryptosystems, widely considered to be one of the most promising post-quantum cryptosystems and provides fundamental insights into how to construct provably secure cryptosystems from hard lattice problems. The concept of provable security is used to inform the choice of lattice tool for designing cryptosystems, including public-key encryption, identity-based encryption, attribute-based encryption, key change and digital signatures. Given its depth of coverage, the book especially appeals to graduate students and young researchers who plan to enter this research area.
