Media Cloud

With the development of cloud computing, more and more video services are moving to the cloud. How to realize fine-grained access control of those data on cloud becomes an urgent problem. Attribute-based encryption provides a solution. However, heavy computation is still a bottleneck restricting the wider application of attribute-based encryption in cloud computing. In addition, we find that expression of the access control structure on media cloud can be further improved. To solve these problems, we propose an enhanced media ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption algorithm and introduce its two key components, the multiple access tree and the key chain. To increase the scalability of the proposed algorithm, we discussed the issues of multi-authorization, user revocation, and 1 − n multiple access tree. Security analysis shows that enhanced media ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption can successfully resist chosen-plaintext attacks under the decisional bilinear Diffie–Hellman assumption. Performance analysis proves both theoretically and practically that the proposed algorithm incurs less computational cost than the traditional ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption, multi-message ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption, and scalable ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption by optimizing the access control structure. Our proposed algorithm has strong practical significance in media cloud.

Ciphertext-Policy Attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE) mechanism is an extension of attribute-based encryption which associates the ciphertext and user's private key with the attribute by taking the attribute as a public key. It makes the representation of the access control policy more flexible, thus greatly reduces the network bandwidth and processing overhead of sending node brought by fine-grained access control of data sharing. According to the principle of CP-ABE encryption mechanism for this mechanism, an improved cloud computing-based encryption algorithm was proposed in this paper to overcome the deficiencies of permission changing process under the massive data. Experimental results show that compared with traditional methods, the new mechanism significantly reduces time-consuming.

With the rapid development of cloud computing, it is playing an increasingly important role in data sharing. Meanwhile, attribute-based encryption (ABE) has been an effective way to share data securely in cloud computing. In real circumstances, there is often a mutual access sub-policy in different providers’ access policies, and the significance of each attribute is usual diverse. In this paper, a secure and efficient data-sharing scheme in cloud computing, which is called unified ciphertext-policy weighted attribute-based encryption (UCP-WABE), is proposed. The weighted attribute authority assigns weights to attributes depending on their importance. The mutual information extractor extracts the mutual access sub-policy and generates the mutual information. Thus, UCP-WABE lowers the total encryption time cost of multiple providers. We prove that UCP-WABE is selectively secure on the basis of the security of ciphertext-policy weighted attribute-based encryption (CP-WABE). Additionally, the results of the implementation shows that UCP-WABE is efficient in terms of time.

AbstractOnline data sharing has become a research hotspot while cloud computing is getting more and more popular. As a promising encryption technique to guarantee the security shared data and to realize flexible fine-grained access control, ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE) has drawn wide attentions. However, there is a drawback preventing CP-ABE from being applied to cloud applications. In CP-ABE, the access structure is included in the ciphertext, and it may disclose user’s privacy. In this paper, we find a more efficient method to connect ABE with inner product encryption and adopt several techniques to ensure the expressiveness of access structure, the efficiency and security of our scheme. We are the first to present a secure, efficient fine-grained access control scheme with hidden access structure, the access structure can be expressed as AND-gates on multi-valued attributes with wildcard. We conceal the entire attribute instead of only its values in the access structure. Besides, our scheme has obvious advantages in efficiency compared with related schemes. Our scheme can make data sharing secure and efficient, which can be verified from the analysis of security and performance.

VCC (Vehicular Cloud Computing) is an emerging and promising paradigm, due to its significance in traffic management and road safety. However, it is difficult to maintain both data security and system efficiency in Vehicular Cloud, because the traffic and vehicular related data is large and complicated. In this paper, we propose a conditional ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption (C-CP-ABE) scheme to solve this problem. Comparing with CP-ABE, this scheme enables data owner to add extra access trees and the corresponding conditions. Experimental analysis shows that our system brings a trivial amount of storage overhead and a lower amount of computation compared with CP-ABE.
