The rapid development of computer technology, cloud-based services have become a hot topic. They not only provide users with convenience, but also bring many security issues, such as data sharing and privacy issue. In this paper, we present an access control system with privilege separation based on privacy protection (PS-ACS). In the PS-ACS scheme, we divide users into private domain (PRD) and public domain (PUD) logically. In PRD, to achieve read access permission and write access permission, we adopt the Key-Aggregate Encryption (KAE) and the Improved Attribute-based Signature (IABS) respectively. In PUD, we construct new multi-authority cipher text policy attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE) scheme with efficient decryption to avoid the issues of single point of failure and complicated key distribution, and design an efficient attribute revocation method for it. The analysis and simulation result show that our scheme is feasible and superior to protect users’ privacy in cloud-based services

Designing a secure, resilient and user-friendly access control system is a challenging task. In this article, a threshold-based location-aware access control mechanism is proposed. This design uniquely combines the concepts of secret sharing and distance bounding protocols to tackle various security vulnerabilities. The proposed solution makes use of the fact that the user carries around various personal devices. This solution offers protection against any set of or fewer compromised user’s devices, with being an adjustable threshold number. It removes the single point of failure in the system, as access is granted when one carries any set of user’s devices. Additionally it supports user-centered management, since users can alter the set of personal devices and can adjust the security parameters of the access control scheme towards their required level of security and reliability.

This design uniquely combines the concepts of secret sharing and distance bounding protocols to tackle various security vulnerabilities. The proposed solution makes use of the fact that the user carries around various personal devices. This solution offers protection against any set of (t-1) or fewer compromised user’s devices, with t being an adjustable threshold number. It removes the single point of failure in the system, as access is granted when one carries any set of t user’s devices. Additionally it supports user-centered management, since users can alter the set of personal devices and can adjust the security parameters of the access control scheme towards their required level of security and reliability.

Security is the main challenge of the Modbus IIoT protocol. The systems designed to provide security involve solutions that manage identity based on a centralized approach by introducing a single point of failure and with an ad hoc model for an organization, which handicaps the solution scalability. Our manuscript proposes a solution based on self-sovereign identity over hyperledger fabric blockchain, promoting a decentralized identity from which both authentication and authorization are performed on-chain. The implementation of the system promotes not only Modbus security, but also aims to ensure the simplicity, compatibility and interoperability claimed by Modbus.

Attribute-based encryption (ABE) can keep data privacy and realize fine-grained access control. However, the notion of file hierarchy hasn't been presented until now. The problem, the multiple hierarchical files to be shared only using once encryption scheme, cannot be effectively solved. Based on the access structure layered model, a novel access control scheme about file hierarchy is proposed by using ABE to solve the problem. The proposed scheme will not only decrease the number of access structures to one, but also only require a secret key to decrypt all the authorization files. It is proved to be secure against the chosen-plaintext attack (CPA) under the decision bilinear Diffie-Hellman (DBDH) assumption. In addition, the performance analysis results indicate that the proposed scheme is efficient and practical when a large number of hierarchical files are shared.
