Abstract
The first practical identity-based encryption scheme using bilinear pairing is attributed to Boneh and Franklin [39]. They also came up with the security definition of IBE and a reductionist proof that their IBE scheme is secure in the proposed security model assuming the hardness of the Bilinear Diffie-Hellman problem (BDH). Sakai, Ohgishi and Kashahara [151] had independently proposed an identity-based non-interactive key exchange scheme using bilinear maps. The method of private key extraction in [151] is identical to the private key extraction in the IBE scheme in [39]. The work of Boneh and Franklin caught immediate attention of the crypto community and spurred further research in this area.
