Attribute Based Encryption

Abstract Attribute-based encryption (ABE) is a versatile one-to-many encryption primitive, which enables fine-grained access control over encrypted data. Due to its promising applications in practice, ABE schemes with high efficiency, security and expressivity have been continuously emerging. On the other hand, due to the nature of ABE, a malicious user may abuse its decryption privilege. Therefore, being able to identify such a malicious user is crucial towards the practicality of ABE. Although some specific ABE schemes in the literature enjoys the tracing function, they are only proceeded case by case. Most of the ABE schemes do not support traceability. It is thus meaningful and important to have a generic way of equipping any ABE scheme with traceability. In this work, we partially solve the aforementioned problem. Namely, we propose a way of transforming (non-traceable) ABE schemes satisfying certain requirements to fully collusion-resistant black-box traceable ABE schemes, which adds only $O(\sqrt{\mathcal{K}})$ elements to the ciphertext where ${\mathcal{K}}$ is the number of users in the system. And to demonstrate the practicability of our transformation, we show how to convert a couple of existing non-traceable ABE schemes to support traceability.

Attribute Based Encryption

In the area of searchable encryption, public key encryption with keyword search (PEKS) has been a critically important and promising technique which provides secure search over encrypted data in cloud computing. PEKS can protect user data privacy without affecting the usage of the data stored in the untrusted cloud server environment. However, most of the existing PEKS schemes concentrate on data users’ rich search functionalities, regardless of their search permission. Attribute-based encryption technology is a good method to solve the security issues, which provides fine-grained access control to the encrypted data. In this paper, we propose a privacy-preserving and efficient public key encryption with keyword search scheme by using the ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE) technique to support both fine-grained access control and keyword search over encrypted data simultaneously. We formalize the security definition, and prove that our scheme achieves selective indistinguishability security against an adaptive chosen keyword attack. Finally, we present the performance analysis in terms of theoretical analysis and experimental analysis, and demonstrate the efficiency of our scheme.

Learning With Errors

Attribute-based encryption (ABE) can support a fine-grained access control to encrypted data. When the user’s secret-key is compromised, the ABE system has to revoke its decryption privileges to prevent the leakage of encrypted data. Although there are many constructions about revocable ABE from bilinear maps, the situation with lattice-based constructions is less satisfactory, and a few efforts were made to close this gap. In this work, we propose the first lattice-based server-aided revocable attribute-based encryption (SR-ABE) scheme and thus the first such construction that is believed to be quantum resistant. In the standard model, our scheme is proved to be secure based on the hardness of the Learning With Errors (LWE) problem.

Attribute based encryption is a promising technique that achieves flexible and fine-grained data access control over encrypted data, which is very suitable for a secure data sharing environment such as the currently popular cloud computing. However, traditional attribute based encryption fails to provide an efficient keyword based search on encrypted data, which somewhat weakens the power of this encryption technique, as search is usually the most important approach to quickly obtain data of interest from large-scale dataset. To address this problem, attribute based encryption with keyword search (ABKS) is designed to achieve fine-grained data access control and keyword based search, simultaneously, by an ingenious combination of attribute based encryption and searchable encryption. Recently, several ABKS schemes have been constructed in secure cloud storage system for data access control and keyword search. Nonetheless, each of these schemes has some defects such as impractical computation overhead and insufficient access policy expression. To overcome these limitations, in this paper, we design a Key-Policy Searchable Attribute-based Encryption Scheme (KPSABES) based on the full-blown key-policy attribute-based encryption proposed by Vipul Goyal et al. By novel design, our scheme not only inherits all advantages of that scheme but also achieves efficient and secure keyword search over encrypted data. We provide the detailed performance analyses and security proofs for our scheme. Extensive experiments demonstrated that our proposed scheme is superior in many aspects to the similar work.

AbstractOnline data sharing has become a research hotspot while cloud computing is getting more and more popular. As a promising encryption technique to guarantee the security shared data and to realize flexible fine-grained access control, ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE) has drawn wide attentions. However, there is a drawback preventing CP-ABE from being applied to cloud applications. In CP-ABE, the access structure is included in the ciphertext, and it may disclose user’s privacy. In this paper, we find a more efficient method to connect ABE with inner product encryption and adopt several techniques to ensure the expressiveness of access structure, the efficiency and security of our scheme. We are the first to present a secure, efficient fine-grained access control scheme with hidden access structure, the access structure can be expressed as AND-gates on multi-valued attributes with wildcard. We conceal the entire attribute instead of only its values in the access structure. Besides, our scheme has obvious advantages in efficiency compared with related schemes. Our scheme can make data sharing secure and efficient, which can be verified from the analysis of security and performance.

Attribute based encryption (ABE) is a widely used technique with tremendous application in cloud computing because it provides fine-grained access control capability. Owing to this property, it is emerging as a popular technique in the area of searchable encryption where the fine-grained access control is used to determine the search capabilities of a user. But, in the searchable encryption schemes developed using ABE it is assumed that the access structure is monotonic which contains AND, OR and threshold gates. Many ABE schemes have been developed for non-monotonic access structure which supports NOT gate, but this is the first attempt to develop a searchable encryption scheme for the same. The proposed scheme results in fast search and generates secret key and search token of constant size and also the ciphertext components are quite fewer than the number of attributes involved. The proposed scheme is proven secure against chosen keyword attack (CKA) in selective security model under Decisional Bilinear Diffie-Hellman (DBDH) assumption.

The wireless body area networks (WBANs) have emerged as a highly promising technology that allows patients’ demographics to be collected by tiny wearable and implantable sensors. These data can be used to analyze and diagnose to improve the healthcare quality of patients. However, security and privacy preserving of the collected data is a major challenge on resource-limited WBANs devices and the urgent need for fine-grained search and lightweight access. To resolve these issues, in this paper, we propose a lightweight fine-grained search over encrypted data in WBANs by employing ciphertext policy attribute based encryption and searchable encryption technologies, of which the proposed scheme can provide resource-constraint end users with fine-grained keyword search and lightweight access simultaneously. We also formally define its security and prove that it is secure against both chosen plaintext attack and chosen keyword attack. Finally, we make a performance evaluation to demonstrate that our scheme is much more efficient and practical than the other related schemes, which makes the scheme more suitable for the real-world applications.
