Integrated Encryption Scheme

<p>Integrated Encryption Scheme (IES) is a <a href="/facts/Hybrid_encryption/jR65zu0B">hybrid encryption</a> scheme which provides <a href="/facts/Semantic_security/PlW18aEh">semantic security</a> against an <a href="/facts/Adversary_(cryptography)/X211CFfE">adversary</a> who is able to use <a href="/facts/Chosen-plaintext_attack/uTJ0XCAN">chosen-plaintext</a> or <a href="/facts/Chosen-ciphertext_attack/l9fL7fYR">chosen-ciphertext</a> attacks. The security of the scheme is based on the computational <a href="/facts/Diffie%E2%80%93Hellman_problem/L5C6bEL5">Diffie–Hellman problem</a>.
Two variants of IES are specified: <a href="/facts/Discrete_logarithm/k8TXh5bL">Discrete Logarithm</a> Integrated Encryption Scheme (DLIES) and <a href="/facts/Elliptic_curve/60jvaHSA">Elliptic Curve</a> Integrated Encryption Scheme (ECIES), which is also known as the Elliptic Curve Augmented Encryption Scheme or simply the Elliptic Curve Encryption Scheme. These two variants are identical up to the change of an underlying group.
