Identity-based encryption with equality test (IBEET) is a generalization of the traditional identity-based encryption (IBE) and public key searchable encryption, where trapdoors enable users to check whether two ciphertexts of distinct identities are encryptions of the same plaintext. By definition, IBEET cannot achieve indistinguishability security against insiders, i.e., users who have trapdoors. To address this issue, IBEET against insider attacks (IBEETIA) was later introduced as a dual primitive. While all users of IBEETIA are able to check whether two ciphertexts are encryptions of the same plaintext, only users who have tokens are able to encrypt plaintexts. Hence, IBEETIA is able to achieve indistinguishability security. On the other hand, the definition of IBEETIA weakens the notion of IBE due to its encryption inability. Nevertheless, known schemes of IBEETIA made use of rich algebraic structures such as bilinear groups and lattices. In this paper, we propose a generic construction of IBEETIA without resorting to rich algebraic structures. In particular, the only building blocks of the proposed construction are symmetric key encryption and pseudo-random permutations in the standard model. If a symmetric key encryption scheme satisfies CCA security, our proposed IBEETIA scheme also satisfies CCA security.
