The algorithm Evaluate takes as input a public key pk, a circuit C, a tuple of ciphertexts c = ([c.sub.1] [c.sub.2],...,[c.sub.t]),

From the table in [22], it is easy to realize that the two schemes in [28][30] do not support conjunctive keywords since they require nTGe + (n + 1)TGmul + nTGH in the generation of their ciphertexts. We categorically state that our scheme is more efficient in the ciphertext generation when n is sufficiently large.
Additionally, NuCypher's technology, called proxy re-encryption, is a type of public-key encryption that allows a third-party proxy to transform ciphertexts from one public key to another (using re-encryption keys) without learning anything about the underlying message.
When an attribute revocation happens, the secret keys and ciphertexts corresponding to that particular attribute need to be updated.
This can be formalized by giving a PPT algorithm D the possibility to choose two ciphertexts [c.sub.1], [c.sub.2] and giving it oracle access to two instances of BlindDec based on these choices.
