In PKC 2014, Dachman-Soled showed a construction of a chosen ciphertext (CCA) secure public key encryption (PKE) scheme based on a PKE scheme which simultaneously satisfies a security property called weak simulatability and (standard model) plaintext awareness (sPA1) in the presence of multiple public keys. It is not well-known if plaintext awareness for the multiple keys setting is equivalent to the more familiar notion of that in the single key setting, and it is typically considered that plaintext awareness is a strong security assumption (because to achieve it we have to rely on a “knowledge”-type assumption). In Dachman-Soled’s construction, the underlying PKE scheme needs to be plaintext aware in the presence ofpublic keys.The main result in this work is to show that the strength of plaintext awareness required in the Dachman-Soled construction can be somehow “traded” with the strength of a “simulatability” property of other building blocks. Furthermore, we also show that we can “separate” the assumption that a single PKE scheme needs to be both weakly simulatable and plaintext aware in her construction. Specifically, in this paper we show two new constructions of CCA secure key encapsulation mechanisms (KEMs): Our first scheme is based on a KEM which is chosen plaintext (CPA) secure and plaintext aware only under the 2 keys setting, and a PKE scheme satisfying a “slightly stronger” simulatability than weak simulatability, called “trapdoor simulatability” (introduced by Choi et al. ASIACRYPT 2009). Our second scheme is based on a KEM which is 1-bounded CCA secure (Cramer et al. ASIACRYPT 2007) and plaintext aware only in thesinglekey setting, and a trapdoor simulatable PKE scheme. Our results add new recipes for constructing CCA secure PKE/KEM from general assumptions (that are incomparable to those used by Dachman-Soled), and in particular show interesting trade-offs among building blocks with those used in Dachman-Soled’s construction.
