Abstract: | We propose a new security class, called plaintext-simulatability, defined over the public-key encryption schemes. The notion of plaintext simulatability (denoted PS) is similar to the notion of plaintext awareness (denoted PA), but it is, ``properly'', a weaker security class for public-key encryption. In most cases, PA is ``unnecessarily'' strong, --- only used to prove that a public-key encryption scheme is CCA2-secure, because it looks much easier than to prove ``directly'' that the scheme meets IND-CCA2. We show that PS also implies IND-CCA2, while preserving a good view of the security proofs as well as PA. PS looks ``properly'' stronger than IND-CCA2. So far, however, it is not sure how to prove this, which remains open. |
