1. An encryption parameter setting apparatus comprising:

  • a processing device for processing data;

    a random divisor selection unit;

    a base divisor generation unit;

    a pairing log calculation unit; and

    a parameter setting unit,wherein the random divisor selection unit selects an element from a plurality of elements of a cyclic group G′

    , as a random divisor D*, by using the processing device;

    the base divisor generation unit calculates a plurality of base divisors D˜

    j by mapping the random divisor D* by using a plurality of maps Gj, where the plurality of maps Gj are homomorphism from the cyclic group G′

    to each of a plurality of cyclic groups G′

    j, based on the random divisor D* selected by the random divisor selection unit, by using the processing device;

    the pairing log calculation unit calculates logarithms of pairing values of the plurality of base divisors D˜

    j in a group G, where the group G is a direct product of the plurality of cyclic groups G′

    j, and a pairing value by a bilinear pairing operation of two elements included in the group G is computable, and treats the logarithms as a plurality of pairing log coefficients η

    i, by using the processing device; and

    the parameter setting unit treats the plurality of base divisors D˜

    j calculated by the base divisor generation unit and the plurality of pairing log coefficients η

    i calculated by the pairing log calculation unit, as encryption parameters used in a cryptographic operation, by using the processing device.
