Dynamic Time and Location Information in Ciphertext-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption with Multi-Authorization

Abstract

Due to the mobility of users in an organization, inclusion of dynamic attributes such as time and location becomes the major challenge in Ciphertext-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption (CP-ABE). By considering this challenge; we focus to present dynamic time and location information in CP-ABE with multi-authorization. At first, along with the set of attributes of the users, their corresponding location is also embedded. Geohash is used to encode the latitude and longitude of the user's position. Then, decrypt time period and access time period of users are defined using the new time tree (NTT) structure. The NTT sets the encrypted duration of the encrypted data and the valid access time of the private key on the data user's private key. Besides, single authorization of attribute authority (AA) is extended as multi authorization for enhancing the effectiveness of key generation. Simulation results depict that the proposed CP-ABE achieves better encryption time, decryption time, security level and memory usage. Namely, encryption time and decryption time of the proposed CP-ABE are reduced to 19% and 16% than that of existing CP-ABE scheme.

Unmanned aerial vehicle passive positioning technology based on cross-location and target splitting

“…Since the amount of position data obtained from the signals emitted by the UAVs is very limited [17], it is necessary to have more UAVs emitting signals to adjust their positions to a given perimeter and to distribute them evenly as they deviate from the received position information. In order to keep the quantity of drones emitting signals under control [18], so as to achieve the alignment of drone locations with a smaller number of drones emitting signals, the goal decomposition method was chosen for accurate positioning of drones in this paper [19]. The nine UAVs are finally distributed on a certain circumference.…”

Access control scheme based on blockchain and attribute-based searchable encryption in cloud environment

“…Attributebased searchable encryption based on ciphertext policy not only enables fine-grained access control of encrypted data, but also supports users to retrieve ciphertext based on keywords. Ciphertext Policy Attribute-Based Encryption Algorithm (CP-ABE) [3,4] autonomously set data access policies according to a set of attributes, and associate data access policies with ciphertexts. When the user's attribute set satisfies the access policy, the ciphertext can be decrypted using the corresponding attribute private key, while the specific identity of the decryptor remains unknown, which is suitable for "one-to-many" access scenarios.…”
