Multi-authority attribute-based encryption with efficient revocation

Multi-authority attribute-based encryption was very suitable for data access control in a cloud storage environment.However,efficient user revocation in multi-authority attribute-based encryption remains a challenging problem that prevents it from practical applications.A multi-authority ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption scheme with efficient revocation was proposed in prime order bilinear groups,and was further proved statically secure and revocable in the random oracle model.Extensive efficiency analysis results indicate that the proposed scheme significantly reduce the computation cost for the users.In addition,the proposed scheme supports large universe and any monotone access structures,which makes it more flexible for practical applications.     

Multi-authority ABS supporting dendritic access structure

Attribute-based signature (ABS),which could realize fine-grained access control,was considered to be an important method for anonymous authentication in cloud computing.However,normal ABS only provided simple access control through threshold structure and thus could not cope with the large-scale attribute sets of users in the cloud.Moreover,the attribute sets were supervised by only one attribute authority,which increased the cost of computation and storage.The whole system was in danger of collapsing once the attribute authority was breached.Aiming at tackling the problems above,a novel scheme,was proposed called multi-authority ABS supporting dendritic access structure which supported any AND,OR and threshold gates and affords more flexible access control.Meanwhile,the attribute sets of users were classified by diverse attribute authorities which reduced the overhead and the risk of systems.Besides,the scheme is proved to be selective predicate chosen message attack secure in the random oracle model.     

Multi-authority attribute-based encryption scheme with policy dynamic updating

Attribute-based encryption (ABE) is a new cryptographic technique which guarantees fine-grained access control of outsourced encrypted data in the cloud environment.However,a key limitation remains,namely policy updating.Thus,a multi-authority attribute-based encryption scheme with policy dynamic updating was proposed.In the scheme,an anonymous key issuing protocol was introduced to protect users’ privacy and resist collusion attack of attribute authority.The scheme with dynamic policy updating technique was secure against chosen plaintext attack under the standard model and can support any types of policy updating.Compared to the existing related schemes,the size of ciphertext and users’ secret key is reduced and can significantly reduce the computation and communication costs of updating ciphertext.It is more effective in the practical application.     

基于属性的多授权中心身份认证方案

针对现有的基于属性的身份认证方案均是基于单授权中心实现的,存在密钥托管问题,即密钥生成中心知道所有用户的私钥,提出了一种基于属性的多授权中心的身份认证方案。所提方案结合分布式密钥生成技术实现用户属性私钥的(t,n)门限生成机制,可以抵抗最多来自t-1个授权中心的合谋攻击。利用双线性映射构造了所提方案,分析了所提方案的安全性、计算开销和通信开销,并与同类型方案做比较。最后,以多因子身份认证为例,分析了所提方案在电子凭据应用场景中的可行性。分析结果表明,所提方案具有更优的综合性能。     

基于密文策略属性加密的云存储访问控制方案

针对现有方案存在的访问策略公开、密文存储开销较大的问题,提出一种支持策略隐藏且固定长度密文的云存储访问控制方案,并在安全模型下证明方案可抵抗选择明文攻击。方案中用户私钥由多个授权机构共同生成,中央授权机构不参与生成任何主密钥与属性私钥;访问结构隐藏在密文之中,恶意用户无法通过访问结构获取敏感信息。此外,方案实现了固定密文长度,并且加密时的指数运算和解密时的双线性对运算次数均是固定值。最后,理论分析和实验结果表明该方案在密文长度和加解密时间上都明显优于对比方案。     

基于多授权中心属性基加密的多域云访问控制方案

针对多授权属性基加密方案的合谋攻击和多域共享数据问题,提出了一种基于多授权中心属性基加密的多域云访问控制方案。中央认证机构不参与用户私钥的生成过程,有效避免了用户与授权机构之间的联合攻击;通过线性秘密共享方案和代理重加密技术,云服务器对上传的数据文件进行重加密,实现了单域和多域用户数据的共享。分析结果表明,新方案在用户私钥生成和文件加/解密上具有较高的性能,并在q parallel BDHE假设下是自适应性安全的。     

卫星网络中支持策略隐藏的多授权访问控制方案

卫星网络具有信道开放、节点暴露、星上处理能力受限等独有特征，但现有的基于密文策略的属性加密（CP-ABE）的访问控制不支持策略完全隐藏且属性授权方式不适用于卫星网络，为此，提出支持策略隐藏的多授权访问控制方案。该方案采用更灵活的线性秘密共享（LSSS）矩阵访问结构，不仅能有效保证数据机密性，而且能通过混淆访问结构实现策略完全隐藏；采用多授权机构实现细粒度的属性管控，能消除中心授权机构的性能瓶颈；各属性授权机构独立工作且密钥生成分权，能有效抵抗合谋攻击。安全性及性能分析表明，所提方案满足数据机密性、抗合谋攻击和完全策略隐藏的安全需求，比对比方案更适合卫星网络。     

具有固定密文长度的多授权属性基密钥协商协议

为适应云环境中移动手机等资源限制型设备的使用,降低基于多授权属性基加密的会话密钥协议的计算和通信代价,提出一种能生成固定密文长度交换消息的协议。该协议基于多值访问结构,加强了数据拥有者对系统模型的权限控制;在基于属性的BJM(Blake-Johnson-Menezes)模型和选择访问结构安全模型下,基于判定性q并行双线性Diffie-Hellman指数(q-PBDHE)假设证明了该协议的安全性。通过实验比较分析了类似协议的性能,表明该协议具有较高效率和安全性,适合在轻量级应用场景上使用。     

基于多认证中心和属性子集的属性加密方案

将有密文规则的基于属性子集的属性加密方案中的想法应用到有多个认证中心的境中,实现了既支持多认证中心,又支持以属性子集的方式定制密文规则的属性加密方案.在我们的属性加密系统中,每个认证中心管理用户不同类别的属性集并且可以定制相应的密文规则进行属性加密;解密时,在每个认证中心上用户的属性集合先要通过这个认证中心上的密文规则的验证,才能够解密得到该认证中心的局部主密钥,只有得到全部局部主密钥才能解密出由系统主密钥加密的密文.同时因为在每个认证中心上支持以属性子集的方式定制密文规则,这使我们的方案能够更好支持复杂的密文规则的定制,所以我们的方案更加适合应用在有多个认证中心并且用户属性和密文规则复杂的环境.另外我们还提出了相应的安全模型并且证明方案的安全性.
