Abstract: This study deals with the dynamic property of threshold cryptosystem. A dynamic threshold cryptosystem allows the sender to choose the authorized decryption group and the threshold value for each message dynamically. We first introduce an identity based dynamic threshold cryptosystem, and then use the Canetti- Halevi-Katz (CHK) transformation to transform it into a fully secure system in the traditional public key setting. Finally, the elegant dual system encryption technique is applied to constructing a fully secure dynamic threshold cryptosystem with adaptive security.
