Abstract

Nowadays, many organizations are adopting cloud computing for storing the large amount of organization’s important and private data. Here, it becomes important to mange appropriate access rights to these data as it is stored outside the organization’s boundary and is handled by the third party service providers. The Ciphertext Policy Attribute-based Encryption (CPABE) scheme is the most widely utilized technique that offers encrypted access control. In the existing implementations of CPABE scheme, one of the significant issues that need to be addressed is an efficient revocation mechanism. In this paper a direct and immediate user revocation approach for CPABE scheme is presented. The proposed method offers direct user revocation by maintaining the revocation list and to keep revocation list smaller the validity time is embedded in the user’s secret key. The revoked users are still able to access the previously generated ciphertexts. Hence, ciphertext update process is incorporated and a separate immediate revocation list is maintained so that the revoked users’ access is restricted. Also, in the proposed system the revocation information is embedded in ciphertext as a separate part so the update process of ciphertext is more efficient.
