Attribute-based encryption (ABE) is widely used for a secure and efficient data sharing. The predetermined access policy of ABE shares the data with intended data users. However, ABE is not preferable in many applications that require collaboration among data users. In such applications, an authorized data user may be interested to collaborate with another data user who does not adhere to the access policy. Fixed access policy of ABE does not allow an authorized data user (who satisfies the acce...

Outsourcing the heavy decryption computation to a cloud service provider has been a promising solution for a resource-constrained mobile device to deploy an attribute-based encryption scheme. However, the current attribute based encryption with outsourced decryption schemes only enable the mobile device to verify whether the cloud service provider has returned a correct decryption result, they lack a mechanism to enable the cloud service provider to escape from a mobile device's wrong claim...

Cloud computing, which provides adequate storage and computation capability, has been a prevalent information infrastructure. Secure data sharing is a basic demand when data was outsourced to a cloud server. Attribute-based proxy re-encryption has been a promising approach that allows secure encrypted data sharing on clouds. With attribute-based proxy re-encryption, a delegator can designate a set of shared users through issuing a re-encryption key which will be used by the cloud server to trans...

The Internet of Things and cloud services have been widely adopted in many applications, and personal health records (PHR) can provide tailored medical care. The PHR data is usually stored on cloud servers for sharing. Weighted ABE is a practical and flexible technique to protect PHR data. Under a weighted ABE policy, the data user's attributes will be “scored”, if and only if the score reaches the threshold value, they can access the data. However, while this approach offers a flexible...

Spatial encryption (SE), which involves encryption and decryption with affine/vector objects, was introduced by Boneh and Hamburg at Asiacrypt 2008. Since its introduction, SE has been shown as a versatile and elegant tool for implementing many other important primitives such as (Hierarchical) Identity-based Encryption ((H)IBE), Broadcast (H)IBE, Attribute-based Encryption, and Forward-secure cryptosystems. This paper revisits SE toward a more compact construction in the lattice setting. In doin...

Cloud-based Internet of Things (IoT) management services are a promising means of ingesting data from globally dispersed devices. In this setting, it is important to regulate access to data managed by potentially untrusted cloud servers. Attribute-based encryption (ABE) is a highly effective tool for access control. However, applying ABE to IoT environments shows limitations in the following three aspects: First, the demands for storage resources increase in proportion to the complexity of the a...

Attribute-based encryption scheme is a promising mechanism to realize one-to-many fine-grained access control which strengthens the security in cloud computing. However, massive amounts of data and various data sharing requirements bring great challenges to the complex but isolated and fixed access structures in most of the existing attribute-based encryption schemes. In this paper, we propose an attribute-based hierarchical encryption scheme with extendable policy, called Extendable Hierarchica...
