Recently, many multi-receiver identity-based encryption schemes have been proposed in the literature. However, none can protect the privacy of message receivers among these schemes. In this thesis, we present an anonymous multi-receiver identity-based encryption scheme where we adopt Lagrange interpolating polynomial mechanisms to cope with the above problem. Our scheme makes it impossible for an attacker or any other message receiver to derive the identity of a message receiver such that the privacy of every receiver can be guaranteed. Furthermore, the proposed scheme is quite receiver efficient since each of the receivers merely needs to perform constant times (twice in fact) of pairing computation, which is the most time-consuming computation in pairing-based cryptosystems, to decrypt the received message. Furthermore, we prove that our scheme is secure against
adaptive chosen plaintext attacks and adaptive chosen ciphertext attacks. Finally, we also prove that the receivers of the scheme can be anonymous.
