A Ciphertext-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption Scheme with Constant Ciphertext Length

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNSC,volume 5451))

Abstract

An Attribute-Based Encryption (ABE) is an encryption scheme, where users with some attributes can decrypt ciphertexts associated with these attributes. However, the length of the ciphertext depends on the number of attributes in previous ABE schemes. In this paper, we propose a new Ciphertext-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption (CP-ABE) with constant ciphertext length. Moreover, the number of pairing computations is also constant.
