Secure personal data sharing in cloud computing using attribute-based broadcast encryption

The ciphertext-policy (CP) attribute-based encryption (ABE) (CP-ABE) emergings as a promising technology for allowing users to conveniently access data in cloud computing. Unfortunately, it suffers from several drawbacks such as decryption overhead, user revocation and privacy preserving. The authors proposed a new efficient and privacy-preserving attribute-based broadcast encryption (BE) (ABBE) named EP-ABBE, that can reduce the decryption computation overhead by partial decryption, and protect user privacy by obfuscating access policy of ciphertext and user's attributes. Based on EP-ABBE, a secure and flexible personal data sharing scheme in cloud computing was presented, in which the data owner can enjoy the flexibly of encrypting personal data using a specified access policy together with an implicit user index set. With the proposed scheme, efficient user revocation is achieved by dropping revoked user's index from the user index set, which is with very low computation cost. Moreover, the privacy of user can well be protected in the scheme. The security and performance analysis show that the scheme is secure, efficient and privacy-preserving.     

MACPABE: Multi-Authority-based CP-ABE with efficient attribute revocation for IoT-enabled healthcare infrastructure

The Internet of Things (IoT) technology along with cloud computing has gained much attention in recent years for its potential to upgrade conventional healthcare systems. Outsourcing healthcare data to a cloud environment from IoT devices is very essential as IoT devices are lightweight. To maintain confidentiality and to achieve fine-grained access control, the ciphertext policy attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE) technique is utilized very often in an IoT-based healthcare system for encrypting patients' healthcare data. However, an attribute revocation may affect the other users with the same attribute set, as well as the entire system due to its security concerns. This paper proposes a novel CP-ABE-based fine-grained access control scheme to solve the attribute revocation problem. The proposed technique includes multiple attribute authorities to reduce the work overhead of having a single authority in the traditional CP-ABE systems. In addition, the proposed scheme outsources the decryption process to a decryption assistant entity to reduce the decryption overhead of the end-users. To prove the efficiency of the proposed scheme, both formal security analysis and performance comparisons are presented in this paper. Results and discussion prove the effectiveness of the proposed scheme over some well-known schemes.

Ciphertext-Policy Attribute Based Encryption Supporting Any Monotone Access Structures Without Escrow

Ciphertext policy attribute-based encryp-tion (CP-ABE) is becoming a new primitive for fine-grained access control. It neither produces multiple en-crypted copies of the same data nor suffers from the severe burden of key distribution and management.

Attribute-based encryption scheme supporting attribute revocation in cloud storage environment

Attribute-based encryption (ABE) scheme is widely used in the cloud storage due to its fine-grained access control.Each attribute in ABE may be shared by multiple users at the same time.Therefore,how to achieve attribute-level user revocation is currently facing an important challenge.Through research,it has been found that some attribute-level user revocation schemes currently can’t resist the collusion attack between the revoked user and the existing user.To solve this problem,an attribute-based encryption scheme that supported the immediate attribute revocation was proposed.The scheme could achieve attribute-level user revocation and could effectively resist collusion attacks between the revoked users and the existing users.At the same time,this scheme outsourced complex decryption calculations to cloud service providers with powerful computing ability,which reduced the computational burden of the data user.The scheme was proved secure based on computational Diffie-Hellman assumption in the standard model.Finally,the functionality and efficiency of the proposed scheme were analyzed and verified.The experimental results show that the proposed scheme can safely implement attribute-level user revocation and has the ability to quickly decrypt,which greatly improves the system efficiency.

云社交网络中安全高效的加密数据共享机制(英文)

Despite that existing data sharing systems in online social networks(OSNs)propose to encrypt data before sharing,the multiparty access control of encrypted data has become a challenging issue.In this paper,we propose a secure data sharing scheme in OSNs based on ciphertext-policy attributebased proxy re-encryption and secret sharing.In order to protect users' sensitive data,our scheme allows users to customize access policies of their data and then outsource encrypted data to the OSNs service provider.Our scheme presents a multiparty access control model,which enables the disseminator to update the access policy of ciphertext if their attributes satisfy the existing access policy.Further,we present a partial decryption construction in which the computation overhead of user is largely reduced by delegating most of the decryption operations to the OSNs service provider.We also provide checkability on the results returned from the OSNs service provider to guarantee the correctness of partial decrypted ciphertext.Moreover,our scheme presents an efficient attribute revocation method that achieves both forward and backward secrecy.The security and performance analysis results indicate that the proposed scheme is secure and efficient in OSNs.

Attribute-based proxy re-encryption scheme with multiple features

A ideal proxy re-encryption scheme has five features,such as one-way encryption,non-interaction,repeatability,controllability and verifiability.The existing schemes,however,have only two or three of the five features,which reduces the utility of them to some extent.For this,a new ciphertext-policy attribute-based proxy re-encryption (CP-ABPRE) scheme with the above five features was proposed.In the proposed scheme,the cloud proxy server could only re-encrypt the ciphertext specified by the delegator by using the re-encryption key,and resist the collusion attack between the user and the proxy satisfying the re-encryption sharing policy.Most of encryption and decryption were outsourced to cloud servers so that it reduced the computing burden on the user’s client.The security analysis show that the proposed scheme resists the selective chosen plaintext attack (SCPA).
