We propose a new biometric identity based encryption scheme （Bio-IBE）, in which user biometric information is used to generate the public key with a fuzzy extractor. This is the first Bio-IBE scheme that achieves constant size ciphertext. This is also a scheme that is secure against the adaptive chosen ciphertext attack （CCA2）. Details are presented along with a discussion of Shamir＇s threshold secret sharing and fuzzy extraction of biometrics, which is based on error correction codes. We also define a security model and prove that the security of the proposed scheme is reduced to the decisional bilinear Diffie-Hellman proposed scheme has better efficiency and stronger security （DBDH） assumption. The comparison shows that the compared with the available Bio-IBE schemes.
