Line 1: '''ID-based encryption''', (or '''identity-based encryption (IBE)'''), is an important primitive of [[ID-based cryptography]]. As such it is a type of [[public-key encryption]] in which the [[public key]] of a user is some unique information about the identity of the user (e.g. a user's email address). This can use the text-value of the name or ___domain name as a key or the physical IP address it translates to. The first implementation of an email-address based PKI was developed by [[Adi Shamir]] in 1984,<ref name="iseca.org">Adi Shamir, [http://www.iseca.org/modules/mydownloads/visit.php?cid=56&lid=33 Identity-Based Cryptosystems and Signature Schemes]. ''Advances in Cryptology: Proceedings of CRYPTO 84, Lecture Notes in Computer Science'', 7:47--53, 1984</ref> which allowed users to verify [[digital signature]]s using only public information such as the user's identifier.
