An access control system is needed to ensure only authorized users can access a sensitive resource. We propose a secure access control based on a fully secure and fine grained ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption scheme. The access control for a sensitive resource is ensured by encrypting it with encryption algorithm from the CP-ABE scheme parameterized by an access control policy. Furthermore, the proposed access control supports non-monotone type access control policy. The ciphertext only can be recovered by users whose attributes satisfy the access control policy. We also implement and measure the performance of our proposed access control. The results of experiments show that our proposed secure access control is feasible.

Cloud computing offers a platform that is both adaptable and scalable, making it ideal for outsourcing data for sharing. Various organizations outsource their data on cloud storage servers for availing management and sharing services. When the organizations outsource the data, they lose direct control on the data. This raises the privacy and security concerns. Cryptographic encryption methods can secure the data from the intruders as well as cloud service providers. Data owners may also specify access control policies such that only the users, who satisfy the policies, can access the data. Attribute based access control techniques are more suitable for the cloud environment as they cover large number of users coming from various domains. Multi-authority attribute-based encryption (MA-ABE) technique is one of the propitious attribute based access control technique, which allows data owner to enforce access policies on encrypted data. The main aim of this paper is to comprehensively survey various state-of-the-art MA-ABE schemes to explore different features such as attribute and key management techniques, access policy structure and its expressiveness, revocation of access rights, policy updating techniques, privacy preservation techniques, fast decryption and computation outsourcing, proxy re-encryption etc. Moreover, the paper presents feature-wise comparison of all the pertinent schemes in the field. Finally, some research challenges and directions are summarized that need to be addressed in near future.

CP-ABE 방식은 신뢰된 서버 없이 접근 제어 메카니즘을 구현할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 권한을 부여받은 사용자가 민감한 데이터에 접근할 수 있도록 CP-ABE 방식으로 속성기반 접근 제어 메카니즘을 제안한다. CP-ABE 개념은 암호문에서 접근 제어 방법을 포함하는 것이다. 만약 사용자가 암호문의 접근 구조를 통해 속성을 가진다면 암호문은 복호될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 제안한 CP-ABE 방식이 비단조 접근 구조로 표현됨을 증명하고 다른 CP-ABE 방식들과 성능 비교한다.

Personal health records (PHRs) is an electronic medical system that enables patients to acquire, manage and share their health data. Nevertheless, data confidentiality and user privacy in PHRs have not been handled completely. As a fine-grained access control over health data, ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE) has an ability to guarantee data confidentiality. However, existing CP-ABE solutions for PHRs are facing some new challenges in access control, such as policy privacy disclosure and dynamic policy update. In terms of addressing these problems, we propose a privacy protection and dynamic share system (PPADS) based on CP-ABE for PHRs, which supports full policy hiding and flexible access control. In the system, attribute information of access policy is fully hidden by attribute bloom filter. Moreover, data user produces a transforming key for the PHRs Cloud to change access policy dynamically. Furthermore, relied on security analysis, PPADS is selectively secure under standard model. Finally, the performance comparisons and simulation results demonstrate that PPADS is suitable for PHRs.

The evolution of IoT technology is having a significant impact on people's lives. Almost all areas of people's lives are benefiting from increased productivity and simplification made possible by this trending technology. On the downside, however, the application of IoT technology is posing some security challenges, among them, unauthorized access to IoT devices. This paper presents an Attribute-based Access Control Fog architecture that aims to achieve effective distribution, increase availability and decrease latency. In the proposed architecture, the main functional points of the Attribute-based Access Control are distributed to provide policy decision and policy information mechanisms in fog nodes, locating these functions near end nodes. To evaluate the proposed architecture, an access control engine based on the Attribute-based Access Control was built using the Balana library and simulated using EdgeCloudSim to compare it to the traditional cloud-based architecture. The experiments show that the fog-based architecture provides robust results in terms of reducing latency in making access decisions.

이 논문에서 우리는 유연한 속성을 기반으로 하는 FA-RBAC(FA-RBAC)모델을 제안한다. 이 모델은 속성-역할 중심으로 할당하여 객체 관리가 용이하고 그만큼 접근제어의 효율성이 높으며 네트워크 환경이 변함에 따라 유연한 접근제어를 제공할 수 있다. 또한, RBAC 모델과 ABAC 모델의 장단점을 균형 있게 조정하면서 세분화된 권한과 간단한 액세스 제어가 가능하고 실현할 수 있고, 각 역할과 속성 간의 할당 관계를 정적 속성기반 역할과 동적 속성기반 규칙을 결합하여 접근제어 규칙의 수를 줄임으로써 시스템 오버헤드를 줄이고, 비교 분석 및 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안 모델의 타당성 및 성능 이점을 검증한다.

본 논문에서는 제안하는 AC(Attribute Certificate)를 이용하여 Web 상에서의 권한을 제어하는 방식은 기존의 아이디/패스워드 방식의 사용자 인증보다 좀더 안전하게 사용자에 대한 권한을 관리할 수 있다. 기존의 방식은 ACL(Access Control List)를 사용하여 권한 인증을 하기 때문에 서버의 자원을 낭비하게 된다. 본 논문에서 제한하는 방식은 Web상에서의 활동 시 AC를 이용하여 사용자를 인증하게 된다. 이러한 인증을 각 서비스 제공자 사이의 AC에 대한 양식을 공유하고 권한 정보를 공유함으로써 많은 서비스 제공자 사이의 DB 문제를 해결하고 제휴된 어느 서비스 제공자에게나 사용자가 자신의 AC를 제공하여 권한을 획득할 수 있다.

The arrival of the Internet of Things and 5G technology enables users to rely on edge computing platforms to process massive data. Data sharing based on edge computing refines the efficiency of data collection and analysis, saves the communication cost of data transmission back and forth, but also causes the privacy leakage of a lot of user data. Based on attribute-based encryption and blockchain technology, we design a fine-grained access control scheme for data in edge computing, which has the characteristics of verifiability, support for outsourcing decryption and user attribute revocation. User attributes are authorized by multi-attribute authorization, and the calculation of outsourcing decryption in attribute encryption is completed by edge server, which reduces the computing cost of end users. Meanwhile, We implemented the user's attribute revocation process through the dual encryption process of attribute authority and blockchain. Compared with other schemes, our scheme can manage users' attributes more flexibly. Blockchain technology also ensures the verifiability in the process of outsourcing decryption, which reduces the space occupied by ciphertext compared with other schemes. Meanwhile, the user attribute revocation scheme realizes the dynamic management of user attribute and protects the privacy of user attribute.

The personal health record (PHR) system is a promising application that provides precise information and customized services for health care. To flexibly protect sensitive data, attribute-based encryption has been widely applied for PHR access control. However, escrow, exposure and abuse of private keys still hinder its practical application in the PHR system. In this paper, we propose a coordinated ciphertext policy attribute-based access control with user accountability (CCP-ABAC-UA) for the PHR system. Its coordinated mechanism not only effectively prevents the escrow and exposure of private keys but also accurately detects whether key abuse is taking place and identifies the traitor. We claim that CCP-ABAC-UA is a user-side lightweight scheme. Especially for PHR receivers, no bilinear pairing computation is needed to access health records, so the practical mobile PHR system can be realized. By introducing a novel provably secure construction, we prove that it is secure against selectively chosen plaintext attacks. The analysis indicates that CCP-ABAC-UA achieves better performance in terms of security and user-side computational efficiency for a PHR system.

고도로 분산된 컴퓨팅 환경에서 역할 기반 접근제어를 함에 있어서 속성 인증서를 사용한 역할의 효율적 관리 방법을 모색하고자 한다. 역할은 그룹화되며, 속성인증서를 통해 관리된다. 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경과 같은 고도의 분산 컴퓨팅 환경에서는 광범위한 통제 구조를 가질 수 없으므로 이를 고려한 속성 인증서 관리 기법으로 속성 인증서의 전송 방법, 그룹 키의 관리 방법 등이 고려되어야한다. 본 논문에서는 네트워크 상의 효율적 속성 인증서 관리 기법을 모색하며, 그의 기반이 되는 역할의 그룹화를 논한다. 역할을 그룹화하여 관계구조 트리를 구성하고, 분산된 환경에서 안전하고 효율적인 역할의 갱신과 분배를 달성한다. 규모 확장성을 위해 멀티 캐스팅 패킷을 사용한 속성 인증서 분배를 하며, 그에 따른 네트워크 상의 패킷 손실율을 고려한 성능분석을 하여 역할 그룹을 두어 속성 인증서를 구조화하는 것이 성능을 향상시킴을 정량적으로 보인다.
