However, there are many shortcomings in the existing works, such as relying on the strong assumptions, low computational efficiency and large size of ciphertexts, etc. How to solve the trade-off between security and efficiency is a challenging problem at present. To solve these problems, this paper gives an ABBE scheme resisting continual auxiliary leakage(CAL) attack. ABBE scheme achieves constant size ciphertexts, and the computational complexity of decryption only depends on the number of receivers instead of the maximum number of receivers of the system. Additionally, it achieves adaptive security in the standard model where the security is reduced to the general subgroup decision(GSD) assumptions(or called static assumptions in the subgroup). Furthermore, it can tolerate leakage on the master secret key and private key with continual auxiliary inputs. Performance analysis shows that the proposed scheme is more efficient and practical than the available schemes.展开更多

Hadoop is susceptible to possible cyber-attacks because it lacks built-in security measures, even though it can effectively handle and store enormous datasets using the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS). The increasing number of data breaches emphasizes how urgently creative encryption techniques are needed in cloud-based big data settings. This paper presents Adaptive Attribute-Based Honey Encryption (AABHE), a state-of-the-art technique that combines honey encryption with Ciphertext-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption (CP-ABE) to provide improved data security. Even if intercepted, AABHE makes sure that sensitive data cannot be accessed by unauthorized parties. With a focus on protecting huge files in HDFS, the suggested approach achieves 98% security robustness and 95% encryption efficiency, outperforming other encryption methods including Ciphertext-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption (CP-ABE), Key-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption (KB-ABE), and Advanced Encryption Standard combined with Attribute-Based Encryption (AES+ABE). By fixing Hadoop’s security flaws, AABHE fortifies its protections against data breaches and enhances Hadoop’s dependability as a platform for processing and storing massive amounts of data.展开更多

According to this mechanism,even though the file server is compromised,we can still keep the security of the data. Besides the access control,user may be deprived of the ability in some situation,for example paying TV.More previous ABE constructions are proven secure in the selective model of security that attacker must announce the target he intends to attack before seeing the public parameters.And few of previous ABE constructions realize revocation of the users’ key.This paper presents an ABE scheme that supports revocation and has full security in adaptive model.We adapt the dual system encryption technique recently introduced by Waters to ABE to realize full security.展开更多

However, its dependence on a single authority introduces security and performance challenges. Despite the existence of multi-authority CPABE approaches, persistent issues such as single points of failure and high computation cost on the user side remain. This study proposes a novel solution named blockchain-based and decentralized attribute-based encryption(BDAE) for data sharing. BDAE enhances traditional scheme by integrating blockchain and distributed key generation technology. The scheme employs an(n, t) threshold secret sharing algorithm, coupled with the Pedersen verifiable secret sharing method, for attribute key generation. This combination ensures key credibility,facilitates joint attribute management, and addresses single bottleneck and key verification issues. Integrated into a blockchain system, the scheme utilizes smart contracts for fine-grained access control and outsourced computing. Blockchain's decentralization and access logs make data sharing tamper-resistant and auditable. Moreover, simulation comparisons demonstrate that the scheme effectively reduces decryption overhead on the user side, meeting practical application requirements.展开更多

To solve this problem, here, we present a dynamic broadcast encryption scheme with the following properties： First, the length of the ciphertext has a linear relationship with the number of revocable users, but it has no association with the total number of ciphertext recipients. Sec- ond, the scheme also works when users dynamically join. Espe- cially, compared with methods published up to date, our scheme is more efficient with a large number of ciphertext recipients. Third, the broadcaster can revoke user＇s ability to decrypt ciphertext if necessary. Fourth, the private key of users is composed of three elements in Elliptic curve group of prime order. Last, if q-Deci- sional Multi-Exponent Bilinear Diffie-Hellman assumption holds, our scheme is secure in the standard model when a polynomial time adversary selectively attacks it.展开更多

The first scheme proposed achieves sub-linear size cipertexts and the second scheme achieves O（1）- size ciphertexts.

文摘Cloud storage and edge computing are utilized to address the storage and computational challenges arising from the exponential data growth in IoT.However,data privacy is potentially risky when data is outsourced to cloud servers or edge services.While data encryption ensures data confidentiality,it can impede data sharing and retrieval.Attribute-based searchable encryption(ABSE)is proposed as an effective technique for enhancing data security and privacy.Nevertheless,ABSE has its limitations,such as single attribute authorization failure,privacy leakage during the search process,and high decryption overhead.This paper presents a novel approach called the blockchain-assisted efficientmulti-authority attribute-based searchable encryption scheme(BEM-ABSE)for cloudedge collaboration scenarios to address these issues.BEM-ABSE leverages a consortium blockchain to replace the central authentication center for global public parameter management.It incorporates smart contracts to facilitate reliable and fair ciphertext keyword search and decryption result verification.To minimize the computing burden on resource-constrained devices,BEM-ABSE adopts an online/offline hybrid mechanism during the encryption process and a verifiable edge-assisted decryption mechanism.This ensures both low computation cost and reliable ciphertext.Security analysis conducted under the random oracle model demonstrates that BEM-ABSE is resistant to indistinguishable chosen keyword attacks(IND-CKA)and indistinguishable chosen plaintext attacks(INDCPA).Theoretical analysis and simulation results confirm that BEM-ABSE significantly improves computational efficiency compared to existing solutions.
文摘Ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption(CP-ABE) is widely employed for secure data sharing and access control. However, its dependence on a single authority introduces security and performance challenges. Despite the existence of multi-authority CPABE approaches, persistent issues such as single points of failure and high computation cost on the user side remain. This study proposes a novel solution named blockchain-based and decentralized attribute-based encryption(BDAE) for data sharing. BDAE enhances traditional scheme by integrating blockchain and distributed key generation technology. The scheme employs an(n, t) threshold secret sharing algorithm, coupled with the Pedersen verifiable secret sharing method, for attribute key generation. This combination ensures key credibility,facilitates joint attribute management, and addresses single bottleneck and key verification issues. Integrated into a blockchain system, the scheme utilizes smart contracts for fine-grained access control and outsourced computing. Blockchain's decentralization and access logs make data sharing tamper-resistant and auditable. Moreover, simulation comparisons demonstrate that the scheme effectively reduces decryption overhead on the user side, meeting practical application requirements.

文摘Unauthorized access to location information in location-based service is one of the most critical security threats to mobile Internet.In order to solve the problem of quality of location sharing while keeping privacy preserved,adaptive privacy preserved location sharing scheme called APPLSS is proposed,which is based on a new hierarchical ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption algorithm.In the algorithm,attribute authority sets the attribute vector according to the attribute tags of registration from the location service providers.Then the attribute vector can be adaptively transformed into an access structure to control the encryption and decryption.The APPLSS offers a natural hierarchical mechanism in protecting location information when partially sharing it in mobile networks.It allows service providers access to end user’s sensitive location more flexibly,and satisfies a sufficient-but-no-more strategy.For end-users,the quality of service is obtained while no extra location privacy is leaked.To improve service response performance,outsourced decryption is deployed to avoid the bottlenecks of the service providers and location information providers.The performance analysis and experiments show that APPLSS is an efficient and practical location sharing scheme.

文摘Attribute-based encryption with keyword search(ABEKS)is a novel cryptographic paradigm that can be used to implementfine-grained access control and retrieve ciphertexts without disclosing the sensitive information.It is a perfect combination of attribute-based encryption(ABE)and public key encryption with keyword search(PEKS).Nevertheless,most of the existing ABEKS schemes have limited search capabilities and only support single or simple conjunctive keyword search.Due to the weak search capability and inaccurate search results,it is difficult to apply these schemes to practical applications.In this paper,an effi-cient expressive ABEKS(EABEKS)scheme supporting unbounded keyword uni-verse over prime-order groups is designed,which supplies the expressive keyword search function supporting the logical connectives of“AND”and“OR”.The proposed scheme not only leads to low computation and communica-tion costs,but also supports unbounded keyword universe.In the standard model,the scheme is proven to be secure under the chosen keyword attack and the cho-sen plaintext attack.The comparison analysis and experimental results show that it has better performance than the existing EABEKS schemes in the storage,com-putation and communication costs.

文摘With the rapid advancement of cloud computing technology,reversible data hiding algorithms in encrypted images(RDH-EI)have developed into an important field of study concentrated on safeguarding privacy in distributed cloud environments.However,existing algorithms often suffer from low embedding capacities and are inadequate for complex data access scenarios.To address these challenges,this paper proposes a novel reversible data hiding algorithm in encrypted images based on adaptive median edge detection(AMED)and ciphertext-policy attributebased encryption(CP-ABE).This proposed algorithm enhances the conventional median edge detection(MED)by incorporating dynamic variables to improve pixel prediction accuracy.The carrier image is subsequently reconstructed using the Huffman coding technique.Encrypted image generation is then achieved by encrypting the image based on system user attributes and data access rights,with the hierarchical embedding of the group’s secret data seamlessly integrated during the encryption process using the CP-ABE scheme.Ultimately,the encrypted image is transmitted to the data hider,enabling independent embedding of the secret data and resulting in the creation of the marked encrypted image.This approach allows only the receiver to extract the authorized group’s secret data,thereby enabling fine-grained,controlled access.Test results indicate that,in contrast to current algorithms,the method introduced here considerably improves the embedding rate while preserving lossless image recovery.Specifically,the average maximum embedding rates for the(3,4)-threshold and(6,6)-threshold schemes reach 5.7853 bits per pixel(bpp)and 7.7781 bpp,respectively,across the BOSSbase,BOW-2,and USD databases.Furthermore,the algorithm facilitates permission-granting and joint-decryption capabilities.Additionally,this paper conducts a comprehensive examination of the algorithm’s robustness using metrics such as image correlation,information entropy,and number of pixel change rate(NPCR),confirming its high level of security.Overall,the algorithm can be applied in a multi-user and multi-level cloud service environment to realize the secure storage of carrier images and secret data.

文摘To share data securely with secure attribute revocation,anti-collusion,and dynamic user management in the 5G device-to-device(D2D)environment,a novel dynamic anti-collusion ciphertext policy attribute-based encryption(NDA-CP-ABE)scheme in the 5G D2D environment is proposed.On the basis of the ciphertext policy attribute-based encryption algorithm,fine-grained access control and secure attribute revocation are realized,and the confidentiality of data is guaranteed.A polynomial function is adopted in the ciphertext generation phase to realize dynamic user management.A random number is used to prevent a collusion attack among the legitimate user equipment(UE),revoked UE,and external network attackers.Finally,on the basis of the Diffie-Hellman problem,the NDA-CP-ABE scheme is formally proved,and the simulation performances are compared with those of similar schemes.The results show that data can be securely shared through a D2D channel with secure attribute revocation,anti-collusion,and dynamic user management.Moreover,compared with similar schemes,the NDA-CP-ABE scheme has higher efficiency in encryption,decryption,and storage.

文摘Attribute-based encryption is cryptographic techniques that provide flexible data access control to encrypted data content in cloud storage.Each trusted authority needs proper management and distribution of secret keys to the user’s to only authorized user’s attributes.However existing schemes cannot be applied multiple authority that supports only a single keywords search compare to multi keywords search high computational burden or inefficient attribute’s revocation.In this paper,a ciphertext policy attribute-based encryption(CP-ABE)scheme has been proposed which focuses on multi-keyword search and attribute revocation by new policy updating feathers under multiple authorities and central authority.The data owner encrypts the keywords index under the initial access policy.Moreover,this paper addresses further issues such as data access,search policy,and confidentiality against unauthorized users.Finally,we provide the correctness analysis,performance analysis and security proof for chosen keywords attack and search trapdoor in general group model using DBDH and DLIN assumption.

文摘Currently, there still lacks an efficient methodology to revoke user＇s ability to decrypt ciphertext in broadcast encryption with the uncertain number of ciphertext recipients. To solve this problem, here, we present a dynamic broadcast encryption scheme with the following properties： First, the length of the ciphertext has a linear relationship with the number of revocable users, but it has no association with the total number of ciphertext recipients. Sec- ond, the scheme also works when users dynamically join. Espe- cially, compared with methods published up to date, our scheme is more efficient with a large number of ciphertext recipients. Third, the broadcaster can revoke user＇s ability to decrypt ciphertext if necessary. Fourth, the private key of users is composed of three elements in Elliptic curve group of prime order. Last, if q-Deci- sional Multi-Exponent Bilinear Diffie-Hellman assumption holds, our scheme is secure in the standard model when a polynomial time adversary selectively attacks it.

文摘This paper describes two identity-based broadcast encryption （IBBE） schemes for mobile ad hoc networks. The first scheme proposed achieves sub-linear size cipertexts and the second scheme achieves O（1）- size ciphertexts. Furthermore, when the public keys are transmitted, the two schemes have short transmissions and achieve O（1） user storage cost, which are important for a mobile ad hoc network. Finally, the proposed schemes are provable security under the decision generalized bilinear Diffi-Hellman （GBDH） assumption in the random oracles model.
