Abstract:In CRYPTO'13, Gentry et al. proposed the first homomorphic encryption (HE) scheme for the attribute‐based encryption (ABE). However, Gentry's scheme requires the same index for encryption of each ciphertext and supports only the key‐policy ABE. Indeed, in SECRYPT'13, Clear et al. left an open problem in the Gentry et al. scheme viz. a scheme that requires different sets of index in HE using ABE and supports the ciphertext‐policy ABE (CP‐ABE), where the sender is assumed to be intelligent. In addition, in INDOC… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
