Abstract

Adaptive Oblivious Transfer Protocol with Hidden Access Policy (AOT-HAP) is a well known cryptographic primitive that combines each message of a database with an access policy which is kept hidden. The database is held by a sender who encrypts each message of the database under its access policy and publishes encrypted database in which access policies are embedded implicitly. A receiver possesses an attribute set and recovers the message correctly if the attribute set satisfies the access policy implicitly. Otherwise, a garbage message is recovered by the receiver. In this paper, an efficient \(\mathsf{AOT{\text {-}}HAP}\) is presented. The proposed protocol realizes more expressive access policies, i.e., conjunction as well as disjunction of attributes. The proposed \(\mathsf{AOT{\text {-}}HAP}\) is secure assuming the hardness of standard assumptions in the presence of malicious adversary in full-simulation security model. It exhibits significant improvement over the existing similar schemes in terms of both communication and computation.
