Popis: Proxy re-encryption (PRE) enables delegation of decryption rights by entrusting a proxy server with special information, that allows it to transform a ciphertext under one public key into a ciphertext of the same message under a different public key, without learning anything about the underlying plaintext. In Africacrypt 2010, the first PKI-based collusion resistant CCA secure PRE scheme without pairing was proposed in the random oracle model. In this paper, we point out an important weakness in the security proof of the scheme. We also present a collusion-resistant pairing-free unidirectional PRE scheme which meets CCA security under a variant of the computational Diffie-Hellman hardness assumption in the random oracle model.
