Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
In previous privacy-preserving multi-authority attribute-based encryption (PPMA-ABE) schemes, a user can acquire secret keys from multiple authorities with them knowing his/her attributes and furthermore, a central authority is required. Notably, a user’s identity information can be extracted from his/her some sensitive attributes. Hence, existing PPMAABE schemes cannot fully protect users’ privacy as multiple authorities can collaborate to identify a user by collecting and analyzing his attributes. Moreover, ciphertext-policy ABE (CPABE) is a more efficient public-key encryption where the encryptor can select flexible access structures to encrypt messages. Therefore, a challenging and important work is to construct a PPMA-ABE scheme where …
