This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Markulf (talk | contribs) at 21:34, 29 August 2009 (moved Talk:ID-based cryptography to Talk:ID-based encryption: ID-based cryptography is more general than just encryption. Most cryptographic schemes that make use of a public key can be made identity based, e.g. signatures, key agreement ...). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

I don't know this area well - but it looks to me as if this should be merged into identity based encryption now. Charles Matthews 21:32, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I think we need to verify that there's no copyright problems first :( — Matt Crypto 22:28, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Oddly I did test the other page, but Google failed to be my friend. Charles Matthews 08:38, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Whilst I agree that IBE is mostly a public key system, there are symmetric key variants such as tripartite Diffie-Hellman (Joux 2004), etc. Should these be included or would they just confuse the article? 79.70.97.125 (talk) 13:04, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Changing ownership of long lived identifiers

Does anyone know if any of the current IBE schemes can remap some_id@yahoo.com from one person to another? Benjamin Gittins (talk) 11:13, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mechanisms to revoke private keys are not usually mentioned when IBE schemes are described.
In practise, master keys are only valid during a certain amount of time. Private keys need to be issued for each block of time. This effectively provides the ability to revoke of private keys in the instance you describe. Skippydo (talk) 04:09, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
