Abstract:
The present invention concerns the field of broadcast encryptionmethod, i.e. a method to organize the distribution of keys into a group of users so that it is possible to manage the revocation of one member of the group in an efficient way. The proposed solution is a private encryption key ciphertext constant collusion-resistant broadcast encryption. The main idea behind the invention is to mix the notion of efficient tree-based key derivation (also called subset management) with individual and personalized key blinding thus achieving a full collusion-resistant broadcast encryption system. The key de-blinding is performed at the last moment thanks to a cryptographic technique called pairings (also known as bilinear maps) resulting in a global key commonly shared by all authorized (non-revoked) devices. It should be noted that only non-revoked devices can compute the final key (this is achieved through subset management and related subset key derivation technique) and perform the de-blinding (which is performed with one pairing).
