Securing Access Control in Cloud Computing

초록/요약

This dissertation presents cryptographic methods for access control in cloud computing. In this setting, it is important to securely manage and manipulate data held by potentially untrusted cloud servers. To this end, a promising tool is attribute-based encryption because it enables successful data decryption only when a user’s privilege encoded in his private key satisfies an access policy associated with the encrypted data. In this paper, we propose a cipertext-polilcy attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE) scheme. In particular, we design CP-ABE equipped with useful capabilities including short ciphertexts, resistance to illegal key-sharing, and an ability to delegate computationally expensive operations to cloud servers. We also propose a supplementary method to verify the correctness of the outsourced computation. The combination of the proposed CP-ABE and the verification method leads to efficient and trustworthy access control in cloud computing.
