Abstract:

Based on the small key size and high encryption efficiency on ideal lattices, a privacy-preserving multi-authority attribute-based encryption scheme on ideal lattices in the cloud was proposed in this paper, which can support different attribute authorities to manage different attribute sets and generate privacy keys for the user. In the scheme, a partially-hidden policy is introduced to protect the users’ privacy. Thus, the sensitive values of user’s attributes are hidden to prevent from revealing to any third parties. In addition, the extended linear secret-sharing scheme is used to construct the access structure with a high flexibility. Besides, the scheme is proved to be secure against chosen plaintext attack under the standard mode. Compared to the existing related schemes, the users’ secret key and ciphertext in our scheme is reduced and it is more effective in the cloud environment.
