Identity-Based Encryption (IBE) is a form of public key encryption in which the public key can be derived from a unique identifier (such as an email address, name, or any other form of identity) instead of needing a separate key management infrastructure to distribute public keys. IBE simplifies the process of managing public/private key pairs, particularly in scenarios where secure key distribution is challenging.
