In this paper, we show that a recently proposed variation of Cramer-Shoup¡¦s public key scheme is insecure against the adaptive chosen ciphertext attack. Moreover, we showed that the proposed scheme doesn¡¦t satisfy the non-malleability property, even under the weakest attack model ? the chosen plaintext attack.

Keywords: cryptology, security, public-key cryptosystem, encryption, cryptanalysis
