Introduction: What is CP-ABE? • CP-ABE is a tool for implementing fine-grained access control over encrypted data, and is conceptually similar to traditional access control methods such as Role-Based Access Control. • A user is described by a set of descriptive attributes, and a corresponding private key is issued to the user by an authority. • During encryption, an encryptor associates an access policy over attributeswith the ciphertext. • If and only if the attributes of a user satisfy the access policy of the ciphertext, the user can decrypt the ciphertext .

Introduction: What is CP-ABE? -- Definition • . is implicitly included in . • . • If and only if satisfies , can be recovered.
Introduction: Why needs MA-CP-ABE? • It might not be realistic to have one single authority to manage all attributes. [SW05] • E.g., an encryptor may want to share data with users who are computer science alumni of University X and currently working as an engineer for Company Y. i.e., the access policy is • In a desired Multi-Authority CP-ABE (MA-CP-ABE) system, different domains of attributes are managed by different authorities. An encryptor can encrypt messages with any access policy over the entire attribute universe.
History: Existing CP-ABE Schemes • Goyal et al. [GPSW06]: CP-ABE notion. • Bethencourt, Sahai and Waters [BSW07] : The first CP-ABE scheme. • Cheung and Newport [CN07] • Goyal et al. [GJPS08] • Waters [Waters08/11] • Lewko et al.[LOSTW10] • Okamoto and Takashima[OT10] are proposed to achieve better and better expressiveness, efficiency and security. [Waters08/11] and [LOSTW10]: expressive (any monotone access structure); efficient; and secure. The two constructions are very similar, and the difference is that [Waters08/11] is on prime order group while [LOSTW10] is on composite order group. [Waters08/11] is selectively secure and [LOSTW10] is adaptively secure.
History: Existing MA-CP-ABE Schemes • Müller et al. [MKE09]: One Central Authority (CA) and Multiple Attribute Authorities (AAs). • Selectively secure. • Key Escrow: The CA can decrypt all ciphertexts. • Lewko and Waters [LW11] : Multiple AAs • The AAs operate independently from each other. • Adaptively secure, in the random oracle model. • Key Escrow: Each AA can decrypt the ciphertexts whose policy can be satisfied by the AA’s attribute domain.
Motivation • Construct an MA-CP-ABE system • Different attribute domains are managed by different authorities. • Expressiveness, efficiency and security are not weaker than that of the single-authority CP-ABE in [LOSTW10]: • Expressiveness: Support any monotone access structure over the entire attribute universe; • Efficiency: similar to that of [LOSTW10]; • Security: adaptivelysecure in the standard model. • No authority can independently decrypt any ciphertext.
Our Results • We constructed a new MA-CP-ABE system. • Multiple CAs and Multiple AAs. • The CAs issue identity-related keys to users but do not involve in any attribute-related operations. • The AAs issue attribute-related keys to users. • Each AA manages a different attribute domain, and operates independently from other AAs. • A party may easily join the system as an AA by registering itself to the CAs and publishing its attribute-related parameters. • The expressiveness, efficiency and security are comparable to that of the single-authority CP-ABE scheme in [LOSTW10]. • No authority can independently decrypt any ciphertext.
Our Results : The number of CAs. : The number of AAs.

Background • Bilinear map: • where and are three distinct primes; • and are cyclic groups of order ; • is a map such that • (1) Bilinear: • (2) Non-Degenerate: , such that has order in . (2,2) (2,3) D C B A • LSSS: Any monotone access structure can be realized by a Linear Secret-Share Scheme (LSSS). An LSSS is a labeled matrix , where is a matrix over and labels each row with a share holder. E.g.,
Our MA-CP-ABE Scheme: Idea • Start from the single authority CP-ABE of [LOSTW10]: • are chosen randomly, is a generator of . • . • are chosen randomly. • ,. • are chosen randomly. • Constants satisfy .
Our MA-CP-ABE Scheme: Idea • . • are chosen randomly. Bind all attribute-related keys of a user together; Prevent collusion attack from different users (Distinct random for each user); Have no relation with attributes • Ideas: • Separate the single authority to one CA and multiple AAs • CA is responsible for choosing and generating for users; • When a user submits his to an AA, the AA generates by using . Problem: is submitted to AA by the user, so that two users (e.g., Bob and Tom) can launch a collusion attack by submitting the same . Solution: Use digit signature to bind and the identity of a user together.

Our MA-CP-ABE Scheme: Idea Multi-CA-Multi-AA • One-CA-Multi-AA • Problem: • In the One-CA-Multi-AA system, the CA holds the value of , so that it can decrypt all ciphertexts. • Introduce multiple CAs: CA1, , CAD . Each CAd chooses independently, and publishes to the public parameters. • In algorithm, . • Implicitly, we have set that . • Only when all CAs collude together, can they decrypt a ciphertext.

Our MA-CP-ABE Scheme: Idea Our MA-CP-ABE • Naive Multi-CA-Multi-AA • Problem: • When an attacker corrupts a CA, collusion attack can be launched. • E.g., . CA1 is corrupted by Bob and Tom, while CA2 is still secure. In such a case, Bob and Tom should not be able to decrypt a ciphertext with policy . However, • Bob obtains from CA2 ; then obtains from AA1 ; • They set , and submit this to AA2 . AA2 is cheated and believes that this “ is legal, because Bob and Tom control CA1 so that they can generate the valid signature. Then AA2 generates by using this , which is actually for . • For the ciphertext, they can reconstruct by using . --- COLLUSION ATTACK WORKS.
Our MA-CP-ABE Scheme: Idea Our MA-CP-ABE • Naive Multi-CA-Multi-AA • Solution: Each time CAd generates , it must show the knowledge of to AAk . We addressed this by reusing the CP-ABE scheme of [LOSTW10]. registers to ; uses as the public key corresponding to “attribute (k,d)” When visits , regards as the “attributes” of the user User
Our MA-CP-ABE Scheme: Idea Our MA-CP-ABE • Naive Multi-CA-Multi-AA • [LOSTW10]. When visits , regards as the “attributes” of the user: takes the place of • [Ours]. • , • . uses to show to that the corresponding is generated honestly.
Conclusion • We constructed an MA-CP-ABE system, where • Different domains of attributes are managed by different attribute authorities, which operate independently from each other. • No authority can independently decrypt any ciphertext.
Extensions • Large attribute universe construction: • The size of public key is linear in . • It can be avoided by using the idea of interpolation. • Improving performance and reliability of the system: • In this paper, is used to distribute to CAs. It is a -threshold policy, so that all CAs must remain active. • In the full version of this paper, general -threshold policy is used. Only when CAs are involved, they can decrypt a ciphetext. The system works as long as no more than Δ − D CAs fail.
