Proxy re-encryption (PRE), introduced by Blaze, Bleumer and Strauss, allows a semirusted proxy to convert a ciphertext originally intended for Alice into an encryption of the same message intended for Bob. In PKC'09, Shao and Cao proposed a unidirectional PRE scheme without pairings, and compared their scheme with Libert-Vergnaud's pairing- based unidirectional PRE scheme from PKC¡¦08. In this paper, we indicated that Shao-Cao's scheme is not secure against chosen-plaintext attack in Libert-Vergnaud's security model.

Keywords: proxy re-encryption, chosen-ciphertext attack, chosen-plaintext attack, bilinear pairing, transformed ciphertext
