Abstract
Cloud computing is a powerful technology because it provides users with attractive online files sharing services. However, security and privacy are significant challenges since the cloud cannot be fully trusted due the traditional centralized management system. This paper proposes a certificateless proxy re-encryption as an efficient mechanism to secure access over outsourced data. The proposed scheme relies on blockchain technology for decentralized security administration and data protection. Besides, the scheme achieves data confidentiality and efficient revocation mechanism. Moreover, the security analysis proves the confidentiality and integrity of the data stored in the cloud server. Finally, we evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme.
