Abstract

Introduced in 2017, Middle-Product Learning with Errors (MPLWE) and its variants offer a way to construct cryptographic primitives which preserve the efficiency of those based on Polynomial-LWE (PLWE) while being at least as secure as them over a broad choice of number fields. Based on MPLWE, a series of cryptographic schemes have been proposed, including public key encryption (PKE), digital signature, and identity-based encryption (IBE). In this paper, we extend this line of research and propose a new IBE scheme that is adaptively secure in the standard model from MPLWE. Existing IBE schemes from MPLWE only offer selective security or rely on the random oracle model. We follow the blueprint of Agrawal et al. at EUROCRYPT2010 and adapt the well-known partitioning technique to the MPLWE setting. The resulting scheme offers similar efficiency to schemes based on PLWE under a milder assumption.
