Under the usage of new technologies, Internet of Things (IoT) develops rapidly and provides a great convenience for our lives. It is critical for ensuring security to IoT systems as the tremendous growth of IoT applications. Although many cryptography tools (such as identity-based encryption) have been given to provide appropriate security in IoT covering various application fields such as smart home, how to guarantee data confidentiality, provide reasonable data source identification, and resist quantum attacks simultaneously has been a challenging problem. To address this problem, we propose a matchmaking encryption scheme named lattice-based matchmaking identity-based encryption (LMIBE) which can provide bilateral access control for both sender and receiver in IoT systems, and resist quantum attacks. Moreover, we give a formal definition and a security definition for our scheme. Security proof shows that our scheme is secure under the proposed security definition. Finally, by comparing the performance of our scheme with existing works, our proposed scheme has a broad application prospect in IoT environment.
