Identity Based Encryption Identity Based Encryption (IBE) is a type of public key encryption and has been intensely researched in the past decade. Identity Based Encryption summarizes the available research for IBE and the main ideas that would enable users to pursue further work in this area. This book will also cover a brief background on Elliptic Curves and Pairings security against chosen Cipher text Attacks standards and more. Advanced level students in computer science and mathematics who specialize in cryptology and the general community of researchers in the area of cryptology and data security will find Identity Based Encryption a useful book. Practitioners and engineers who work with real world IBE schemes and need a proper understanding of the basic IBE techniques will also find this book a valuable asset.
