1. IntroductionThe bilinear map is a very useful cryptographic primitive. It provides solutions for many cryptographic applications such as identity-based encryptions [1,2,3], non-interactive zero-knowledge proof systems [4,5,6,7,8,9], attribute-based encryptions [10] and short signatures [11,12,13,14,15], etc. A self-bilinear map is a special variant of bilinear maps whose domain and target groups are identical.
