Abstract

Attribute-based encryption (ABE) enables fine-grained access control over encrypted data. A practical and popular approach for handing revocation in ABE is to use the indirect revocation mechanism, in which a key generation centre (KGC) periodically broadcasts key update information for all data users over a public channel. Unfortunately, existing RABE schemes are vulnerable to decryption key exposure attack which has been well studied in the identity-based setting. In this paper, we introduce a new notion for RABE called re-randomizable piecewise key generation by allowing a data user to re-randmomize the combined secret key and the key update to obtain the decryption key, and the secret key is unrecoverable even both the decryption key and the key update are known by the attacker. We then propose a new primitive called re-randomizable attribute-based encryption (RRABE) that can achieve both re-randomizable piecewise key generation and ciphertext delegation. We also refine the existing security model for RABE to capture decryption key exposure resistance and present a generic construction of RABE from RRABE. Finally, by applying our generic transformation, we give a concrete RABE scheme achieving decryption key exposure resistance and ciphertext delegation simultaneously.

Introduction

User revocation is a critical issue that must be addressed properly in any security systems, e.g., due to expiration or change of the user membership and user credentials being stolen/compromised/misused. Without a secure revoca5 tion mechanism, public key cryptosystems are hardly useful in practice. Providing efficient user revocation has been the subject of attention in cryptographic research under different key management and distribution settings such the traditional Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], the identity-based setting [6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11], as well as the attribute-based setting [12, 13, 14, 15, 16]. The 10 existing revocation mechanisms can be categorized into direct revocation, indirect revocation and server-aid revocation.
