Equipped with the advantages of flexible access control and fine-grained authentication, attribute based signcryption is diffusely designed for security preservation in many scenarios. However, realizing efficient key evolution and reducing the calculation costs are two challenges which should be given full consideration in attribute based cryptosystem. In this paper, we present a key-policy attribute based signcryption scheme (KP-ABSC) with delegated computation and efficient key updating. In our scheme, an access structure is embedded into user's private key, while ciphertexts corresponds a target attribute set. Only the two are matched can a user decrypt and verify the ciphertexts. When the access privileges have to be altered or key exposure happens, the system will evolve into the next time slice to preserve the forward security. What's more, data receivers can delegate most of the de-signcryption task to data server, which can reduce the calculation on client's side. By performance analysis, our scheme is shown to be secure and more efficient, which makes it a promising method for data protection in data outsourcing systems.

패스워드 인증 키 교환 프로토콜(Password Authenticated Key Exchange: PAKE)은 서버와 클라이언트가 서로 인증하고 키를 교환하는 알고리즘이다. 패스워드를 여러 개의 서버에 나누어 저장해서, 모든 서버가 손상되지 않으면 패스워드나 키가 유출되지 않는 알고리즘은 다중 서버 PAKE다. 속성 기반 암호화 방식에서는 암호화 하는 주체가 원하는 속성을 모두 만족하여야 복호화가 가능한 특징이 있다. 본 논문에서는 속성 기반 암호화 방식의 속성 값을 패스워드로 보아, 공개키/개인키를 별도로 생성하지 않고 공개키 기반 암호화가 가능한 다중 서버 PAKE 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안한 프로토콜은 서버 당 한 번의 메시지 교환이 필요하며 사전(dictionary) 공격에 안전하다. 또한 사전 공격에 대한 위협 모델을 제시하고 보안 분석을 통하여 안전성을 검증하였으며, 사용한 암호 알고리즘의 수행시간 측정을 통해 제안한 프로토콜의 실현가능성(feasibility)을 검토한다.

Permission delegation is an important research issue in access control. It allows a user to delegate some of his permissions to others to reduce his workload, or enables others to complete some tasks on his behalf when he is unavailable to do so. As an ideal solution for controlling read access on outsourced data objects on the cloud, Ciphertext-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption (CP-ABE) has attracted much attention. Some existing CP-ABE schemes handle the read permission delegation through the delegation of the user's private key to others. Still, these schemes lack the further consideration of granularity and traceability of the permission delegation. To this end, this article proposes a flexible and fine-grained CP-ABE key delegation approach that supports white-box traceability. In this approach, the key delegator first examines the relations between the data objects, read permission thereof that he intends to delegate, and the attributes associated with the access policies of these data objects. Then he chooses a minimal attribute set from his attributes according to the principle of least privilege. He constructs the delegation key with the minimal attribute set. Thus, we can achieve the shortest delegation key and minimize the time of key delegation under the premise of guaranteeing the delegator's access control requirement. The Key Generation Center (KGC) then embeds the delegatee's identity into the key to trace the route of the delegation key. Our approach prevents the delegatee from combining his existing key with the new delegation key to access unauthorized data objects. Theoretical analysis and test results show that our approach helps the KGC transfer some of its burdensome key generation tasks to regular users (delegators) to accommodate more users.

Organizations and other institutions have recently started using cloud service providers to store and share information in light of the Internet of Things (IoT). The major issues with this storage are preventing unauthorized access and data theft from outside parties. The Block chain based Security Sharing scheme with Data Access Control (BSSDAC) was implemented to improve access control and secure data transaction operations. The goal of this research is to strengthen Data Access Control (DAC) and security in IoT applications. To improve the security of personal data, cypher text-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption (CP-ABE) can be developed. The Aquila Optimization Algorithm (AOA) generates keys in the CP-ABE. DAC based on a block chain can be created to maintain the owner's security. The block chain based CP-ABE was developed to maintain secures data storage to sharing. With block chain technology, the data owner is enhancing data security and access management. Finally, a block chain-based solution can be used to secure data and restrict who has access to it. Performance of the suggested method is evaluated after it has been implemented in MATLAB. To compare the proposed method with current practices, Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) are both used.

최근 비즈니스 환경에서 공유되는 데이터의 기밀성과 유연성있는(fine-grained) 접근제어를 보장하기 위해서 KP-ABE(Key Policy-Attribute Based Encryption)와 PRE(Proxy Re-Encryption)를 활용한 시스템 모델이 제안되었다. 그러나 기존 방식은 클라우드 서버에 집중된 복호권한 때문에 데이터 기밀성을 침해하게 된다. 또한, 접근권한 관리에 대한 개념을 고려하지 않았으므로 악의적인 내부사용자의 공격에 취약하다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 기존방식의 프로토콜 모델에서 권한 관리자 그룹을 두어 클라우드 서버에 저장되는 데이터 파일(data file)을 분산 저장하여 데이터 기밀성을 보장하고 AONT 기반의 XOR 임계치 비밀분산을 활용하여 접근권한 관리 모델을 구성하였다. 또한 XOR 쉐어를 활용하여 권한의 가중치를 부여할 수 있는 방법을 구체화했다. 4장에서 기존방식과 제안방식과의 비교 분석과 기능적 활용에 대해서 서술하여 제안방식의 차별화를 부각시켰다.

In the system of ciphertext policy attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE), only when the attributes of data user meets the access structure established by the encrypter, the data user can perform decryption operation. So CP-ABE has been widely used in personal health record system (PHR). However, the problem of key abuse consists in the CP-ABE system. The semi-trusted authority or the authorized user to access the system may disclose the key because of personal interests, resulting in illegal users accessing the system. Consequently, aiming at two kinds of existing key abuse problems: (1) semi-trusted authority redistributes keys to unauthorized users, (2) authorized users disclose keys to unauthorized users, we put forward a CP-ABE scheme that has authority accountability, user traceability and supports arbitrary monotonous access structures. Specifically, we employ an auditor to make a fair ruling on the malicious behavior of users. Besides, to solve the problem of user leaving from the system, we use an indirect revocation method based on trust tree to implement user revocation. Compared with other existing schemes, we found that our solution achieved user revocation at an acceptable time cost. In addition, our scheme is proved to be fully secure in the standard model.

최근 대용량의 지리정보시스템(geographic information system, GIS) DB 보안 중요성이 부각됨에 따라 GIS 네트워크 보안 및 데이터 암호화 기법에 대해 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 그러나 이와 같은 기법들은 GIS 벡터맵 데이터에 대한 원천적인 불법 복제 및 유통에 취약하다. 본 논문에서는 GIS 벡터맵 데이터의 불법 복제 방지 및 권한제어를 위하여 GIS 벡터맵 압축영역 상에서 레이어 단위의 선택적 암호화 기법을 제안한다. 제안한 기법에서는 벡터공간 상에서 벡터맵 압축 과정에서 생성되는 최소부호단위(minimum coding attribute, MCA)의 중점좌표와 방향 파라미터들에 대한 선택적 암호화를 각각 수행한다. 첫 번째 선택적 암호화에서는 MCA 레코드의 중점좌표 위치를 임의치환 함으로써 위치 암호화를 수행한다. 두 번째 선택적 암호화에서는 각 레코드 내의 좌표값들에 대한 방향 정보를 암호화함으로써 지형의 형태를 변화시키는 방향성 암호화를 수행한다. 실험 결과로부터 제안한 벡터맵 데이터 암호화 기법이 낮은 계산복잡도와 대용량 벡터맵 데이터를 효과적으로 암호화 할 수 있음을 확인하였으며, 또한 제안 기법이 AES, DES 등의 일반적인 데이터 암호화 기법을 사용하는 콘텐츠 암호화 기술들에서 발생되는 압축효율의 저하를 최소화할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

In smart grid, electricity consumption data may be handed over to a third party for various purposes. While government regulations and industry compliance prevent utility companies from improper or illegal sharing of their customers' electricity consumption data, there are some scenarios where it can be very useful. For example, it allows the consumers' data to be shared among various energy resources so the energy resources are able to analyze the data and adjust their operation to the actual power demand. However, it is crucial to protect sensitive electricity consumption data during the sharing process. In this paper, we propose a fine-grained access control scheme (FAC) with efficient attribute revocation and policy updating in smart grid. Specifically, by introducing the concept of Third-party Auditor (TPA), the proposed FAC achieves efficient attribute revocation. Also, we design an efficient policy updating algorithm by outsourcing the computational task to a cloud server. Moreover, we give security analysis and conduct experiments to demonstrate that the FAC is both secure and efficient compared with existing ABE-based approaches.

Ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE) associates ciphertext with access policies. Only when the user's attributes satisfy the ciphertext's policy, they can be capable to decrypt the ciphertext. Expressivity and security are the two directions for the research of CP-ABE. Most of the existing schemes only consider monotonic access structures are selectively secure, resulting in lower expressivity and lower security. Therefore, fully secure CP-ABE schemes with non-monotonic access structure are desired. In the existing fully secure non-monotonic access structure CP-ABE schemes, the attributes that are set is bounded and a one-use constraint is required by these projects on attributes, and efficiency will be lost. In this paper, to overcome the flaw referred to above, we propose a new fully secure non-monotonic access structure CP-ABE. Our proposition enforces no constraints on the scale of the attributes that are set and permits attributes' unrestricted utilization. Furthermore, the scheme's public parameters are composed of a constant number of group elements. We further compare the performance of our scheme with former non-monotonic access structure ABE schemes. It is shown that our scheme has relatively lower computation cost and stronger security.
