Abstract

Cloud computing is a rising paradigm used to store and compute the statistics remotely in the cloud. As the data on the server is shared with many users, providing the security has become a vital issue. To encrypt the information securely, various cryptographic algorithms are used. Attribute-based encryption (ABE) is exploited for providing safety as well as fine-grained access control. Access control (AC) is presented before the information is outsourced into the cloud. In this study, based on the security requirement, various attribute-based encryption schemes are exposed. In order to encrypt the documents/information more efficiently, distinct encipher projects are presented in a future enhancement.
