"Attribute-Based Hierarchical Access Control With Extendable Policy" by Meiyan Xiao, Hongbo Li et al.
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 Hierarchical Ciphertext-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption (EH-CP-ABE), to improve the data sharing efficiency a...
