Public key encryption with equality test (PKEET) enables the testing whether two ciphertexts encrypt the same message. Identity-based encryption with equality test (IBEET) simplify the certificate management of PKEET, which leads to many potential applications such as in smart city applications or Wireless Body Area Networks. Lee et al. (ePrint 2016) proposed a generic construction of IBEET scheme in the standard model utilising a 3-level hierachy IBE together with a one-time signature scheme, which can be instantiated in lattice setting. Duong et al. (ProvSec 2019) proposed the first direct construction of IBEET in standard model from lattices. However, their scheme achieve CPA security only. In this paper, we improve the Duong et al.'s construction by proposing an IBEET in standard model which achieves CCA2 security and with smaller ciphertext and public key size.

This paper deals with the design and implementation of the post-quantum public-key algorithm McEliece. Seamless incorporation of a new error generator and new SHA-3 module provides higher indeterminacy and more randomization of the original McEliece algorithm and achieves CCA2 security standard. Due to the lightweight and high-speed implementation of SHA-3 module the proposed 128-bit secure McEliece architecture provides 6% higher performance in only 0.78 times area of the best known existing design.
