Title:
Attribute-Based Encryption with Key Cloning Protection

Authors: M. J. Hinek, S. Jiang, R. Safavi-Naini, S. F. Shahandashti

Abstract:

In this work, we consider the problem of key cloning in attribute-based encryption schemes. We introduce a new type of attribute-based encryption scheme, called token-based attribute-based encryption, that provides strong deterrence for key cloning, in the sense that delegation of keys reveals some personal information about the user. We formalize the security requirements for such a scheme in terms of indistinguishability of the ciphertexts and two new security requirements which we call uncloneability and privacy-preserving. We construct a privacy-preserving uncloneable token-based attribute-based encryption scheme based on Cheung and Newport’s ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption scheme and prove the scheme satisfies the above three security requirements. We discuss our results and show directions for future research.
