Research on Access Control Based on CP-ABE Algorithm and Cloud Computing
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.
