Cloud-assisted Internet of Things (IoT) significantly facilitate IoT devices to outsource their data for high efficient management. Unfortunately, some unsettled security issues dramatically impact the popularity of IoT, such as illegal access and key escrow problem. Traditional public-key encryption can be used to guarantees data confidentiality, while it cannot achieve efficient data sharing. The attribute-based encryption (ABE) is the most promising way to ensure data security and to realize one-to-many fine-grained data sharing simultaneously. However, it cannot be well applied in the cloud-assisted IoT due to the complexity of its decryption and the decryption key leakage problem. To prevent the abuse of decryption rights, we propose a multiauthority ABE scheme with white-box traceability in this paper. Moreover, our scheme greatly lightens the overhead on devices by outsourcing the most decryption work to the cloud server. Besides, fully hidden policy is implemented to protect the privacy of the access policy. Our scheme is proved to be selectively secure against replayable chosen ciphertext attack (RCCA) under the random oracle model. Some theory analysis and simulation are described in the end.

Abstract Attribute-based encryption with equality test (ABEET) simultaneously supports fine-grained access control on the encrypted data and plaintext message equality comparison without decrypting the ciphertexts. Recently, there have been several literatures about ABEET proposed. Nevertheless, most of them explore the ABEET schemes in the random oracle model, which has been pointed out to have many defects in practicality. The only existing ABEET scheme in the standard model, proposed by Wang et al., merely achieves the indistinguishable against chosen-plaintext attack security. Considering the aforementioned problems, in this paper, we propose the first direct adaptive chosen-ciphertext security ciphertext-policy ABEET scheme in the standard model. Our method only adopts a chameleon hash function and adds one dummy attribute to the access structure. Compared with the previous works, our scheme achieves the security improvement, ciphertext validity check and large universe. Besides, we further optimize our scheme to support the outsourced decryption. Finally, we first give the detailed theoretical analysis of our constructions in computation and storage costs, then we implement our constructions and carry out a series of experiments. Both results indicate that our constructions are more efficient in Setup and Trapdoor and have the shorter public parameters than the existing ABEET ones do.

Signcryption Scheme

Air pollution, water pollution, soil erosion, land desertification, and other environmental issues are becoming more and more serious. And ecological security has become a key issue for the sustainable development of the world, so research on ecology has received more and more attention. At present, ecological data is collected and stored separately by various departments or agencies. In order to conduct better research, various institutions or individuals begin to share their own data. However, data sharing between different organizations is affected by many factors, especially data security issues. At the moment, there is no scheme that has been commonly recognized to solve the problem of ecological data sharing. To provide a secure data sharing way for ecological research, a certificateless multireceiver signcryption scheme is proposed. In this paper, the proposed scheme can solve the key escrow problem, and it can improve efficiency on the basis of ensuring security by adopting elliptic curve cryptography (ECC). A rigorous security analysis proves that the scheme can resist various security attacks and ensure privacy protection based on a random oracle model. Performance analysis also shows that this scheme has the advantage of computational overhead compared to the same type of scheme. Therefore, the scheme is very suitable for the safe sharing of ecological data.

Access Policies

With the rapid development of cloud computing, it is playing an increasingly important role in data sharing. Meanwhile, attribute-based encryption (ABE) has been an effective way to share data securely in cloud computing. In real circumstances, there is often a mutual access sub-policy in different providers’ access policies, and the significance of each attribute is usual diverse. In this paper, a secure and efficient data-sharing scheme in cloud computing, which is called unified ciphertext-policy weighted attribute-based encryption (UCP-WABE), is proposed. The weighted attribute authority assigns weights to attributes depending on their importance. The mutual information extractor extracts the mutual access sub-policy and generates the mutual information. Thus, UCP-WABE lowers the total encryption time cost of multiple providers. We prove that UCP-WABE is selectively secure on the basis of the security of ciphertext-policy weighted attribute-based encryption (CP-WABE). Additionally, the results of the implementation shows that UCP-WABE is efficient in terms of time.

Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing are increasingly integrated, in the sense that data collected from IoT devices (generally with limited computational and storage resources) are being sent to the cloud for processing, etc., in order to inform decision making and facilitate other operational and business activities. However, the cloud may not be a fully trusted entity, like leaking user data or compromising user privacy. Thus, we propose a privacy-preserving and user-controlled data sharing architecture with fine-grained access control, based on the blockchain model and attribute-based cryptosystem. Also, the consensus algorithm in our system is the Byzantine fault tolerance mechanism, rather than Proof of 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.

Currently, “connected cars” are being actively designed over smart cars and autonomous cars, to establish a two-way communication network between the vehicle and all infrastructure. Additionally, because vehicle black boxes are becoming more common, specific processes for secure and efficient data sharing and transaction via vehicle networks must be developed. In this paper, we propose a Blockchain-based vehicle data marketplace platform model, along with a data sharing scheme, using Blockchain-based data-owner-based attribute-based encryption (DO-ABE). The proposed model achieves the basic requirements such as data confidentiality, integrity, and privacy. The proposed system securely and effectively handles large-capacity and privacy-sensitive black box video data by storing the metadata on Blockchain (on-chain) and encrypted raw data on off-chain (external) storage, and adopting consortium Blockchain. Furthermore, the data owners of the proposed model can control their own data by applying the Blockchain-based DO-ABE and owner-defined access control lists.

User Groups

Cloud computing provides a flexible and convenient way for data sharing, which brings various benefits for both the society and individuals. But there exists a natural resistance for users to directly outsource the shared data to the cloud server since the data often contain valuable information. Although it causes many security issues, cloud service providers are not at the same level of trust as users. To preserve the privacy of data against non-trusted Cloud Service Provider (CSP) files, current solutions implement Cryptographic methods (for example, encryption methods) and deliver decryption keys only to authorized users. However, data sharing in the cloud among authorized users remains a difficult problem, especially when it comes to dynamic user groups. Most of the research on dynamic group data exchange has been done in the cloud with many algorithms, such as Attribute-Based Encryption (ABE), Ciphertext Attribute-Based Encryption (CP-ABE) to provide better security in dynamic cloud users with multiple authorities, but they still face challenges, either lack of performance or rely on a trusted server, and are not suitable for distribution with the problem of eliminating attributes. Thus, the Revocation user cannot get shared data before and after. To solve this in particular, we first suggest an effective Modified Revocable Attribute-Based Encryption (MR-ABE) system with the quality of ciphertext allocation by applying and integrating both Identity-Based Encryption (IBE) and CP-ABE techniques. It can provide confidential forward / backward of encrypted data by delivering user revocation attributes and updating encrypted text simultaneously. Next, we perform Fine-grained access control and data exchange for on-demand services with dynamic user groups on the cloud. Experimental data show that our proposed system is more efficient and scalable than the latest generation solutions

The advent of intelligent transportation system has a crucial impact on the traffic safety and efficiency. To cope with security issues such as spoofing attack and forgery attack, many authentication schemes for vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) have been developed, which are based on the hypothesis that secret keys are kept perfectly secure. However, key exposure is inevitable on account of the openness of VANET environment. To address this problem, key insulation is introduced in our proposed scheme. With a helper device, vehicles could periodically update their own secret keys. In this way, the forward and backward secrecy has been achieved. In addition, the elliptic curve operations have been integrated to improve the performance. The random oracle model is adopted to prove the security of the proposed scheme, and the experiment has been conducted to demonstrate the comparison between our scheme and the existing similar schemes.

Abstract In order to keep the confidential data in the cloud against unauthorized parties, a cryptographic access control solution based on Attribute-Based Encryption (ABE) and Identity-Based Signature (IBS) is introduced in this paper. Under the premise that cloud service provider is untrustful, the proposed scheme can ensure the data security of the cloud storage system in an open environment, as well as reduce the complexity of management. Analysis and experimental results show that the scheme can be semantically secure against adaptive chosen ciphertext attacks under the random oracle model. Our concrete access control scheme can enhance the efficiency of the cloud to a certain extent.
