Abstract

The understanding of directionality for updatable encryption (UE) schemes is important, but not yet completed in the literature. We show that security in the backward-leak uni-directional key updates setting is equivalent to the no-directional one. Combining with the work of Jiang (ASIACRYPT 2020) and Nishimaki (PKC 2022), it is showed that the backward-leak notion is the strongest one among all known key update notions and more relevant in practice. We propose two novel generic constructions of UE schemes that are secure in the backward-leak uni-directional key update setting from public key encryption (PKE) schemes: the first one requires a key and message homomorphic PKE scheme and the second one requires a bootstrappable PKE scheme. These PKE can be constructed based on standard assumptions (such as the Decisional Diffie-Hellman and Learning With Errors assumptions).

Notes

  1. 1.

    This was called uni-directional key updates in [12], but here we follow the more precise terminology of Nishimaki [14] and call it forward-leak uni-directional key updates.

  2. 2.

    except for some end epoch \(\textsf{e} _\textsf{end}\), if \(\textsf{e} _\textsf{exp}\le \textsf{e} _\textsf{end}\).

  3. 3.

    A challenge-equal ciphertext is either a challenge ciphertext or an updated ciphertext of the challenge ciphertext.
