Abstract

An inner-product functional encryption scheme in which the maximum length of a ciphertext and the maximum length of a secret key are not restricted can be constructed. An encryption device (20) generates a ciphertext ctx in which a vector x is encrypted, using encryption setting information that is of a size depending on the size of the vector x and is generated using as input public information of a fixed size. A key generation device (30) generates a secret key sky in which a vector y is set, using key setting information that is of a size depending on the size of the vector y and is generated using as input the public information. A decryption device (40) decrypts the ciphertext ctx with the secret key sky to calculate an inner-product value of the vector x and the vector y.
