Scheme Adapters

Adapters are wrappers that transform or extend cryptographic schemes to provide additional functionality. Common uses include:

• Hybrid Encryption: Combining asymmetric schemes with symmetric encryption to encrypt arbitrary-length messages

• IBE-to-PKE Transforms: Converting Identity-Based Encryption schemes into standard Public Key Encryption schemes

• IBE-to-Signature Transforms: Converting IBE schemes into signature schemes

• Identity Hashing: Allowing schemes that require group element identities to accept string identities instead
