Abstract

Attribute-based authentication (ABA) is an approach to authenticate users by their attributes, so that users can get authenticated anonymously and their privacy can be protected. In ABA schemes, required attributes are represented by attribute trees, which can be combined with signature schemes to construct ABA schemes. Most attribute trees are built from top to down and can not change with attribute requirement changes. In this paper, we propose an ABA scheme based on down-to-top built attribute trees or dynamic attribute trees, which can change when attribute requirements change. Therefore, the proposed dynamic ABA scheme is more efficient in a dynamic environment by avoiding regenerating the whole attribute tree each time attribute requirements change.
