Identity-based ElGamal
An identity-based encryption scheme is a public key cryptosystem where one's public key can be derived as a function of their identity (ie email address) and some public information associated with their locale (perhaps associated with their mail server). Identity-based systems are expected to become important in sectors where key escrow is desirable, but where traditional PKI is too burdensome. In this talk, we propose a simple modification to the popular ElGamal cryptosystem, enabling it as an identity-based system.
