Functional Encryption and Its Impact on Cryptography

Conference paper
Part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science book series (LNCS, volume 8642)

Abstract

Functional encryption is a novel paradigm for public-key encryption that enables both fine-grained access control and selective computation on encrypted data, as is necessary to protect big, complex data in the cloud. In this article, we provide a brief introduction to functional encryption, and an overview of its overarching impact on the field of cryptography.
