Abstract

We propose an efficient revocable multi-authority large-universe attribute-based encryption system deployed to cloud storage service, which supports multiple authorities issuing secret keys for users with attributes from different domains in considering of privacy preserving and efficiency. In addition, it supports large-universe attributes allowing attributes denoted as any string in a large universe. Furthermore, it realizes an efficient revocation of attributes with less computation of key updating and data re-encryption. For this system, we define the security notion named indistinguishability against selective authority and access policy and statically chosen ciphertext attacks (IND-sAA-sCCA2), which can meet the majority of current security needs. Finally, a concrete scheme supporting ciphertext verifiability is constructed on prime-order groups to improve computing efficiency. We prove that the scheme satisfies IND-sAA-sCCA2 security with the help of a Chameleon hash function.
