Popis: Identity Based Cryptosystem (IBC) is a new paradigm in the field of cryptography. Using IBC two users can communicate in secured manner without the need for exchanging of public or private keys and without keeping any key directories to store the public keys. IBC systems have the advantage of having any unique identity string as the public key, like an email address, phone numbers, etc. This system removes the requirement for certificates and associating a name with a public key. Thus eliminates some of the practical problems related with the traditional public key cryptosystems. In this paper we proposed the algorithm to implement the Identity Based Encryption System.
