Abstract

Data storage on cloud servers has become a common practice across businesses. Data security and accessibility in cloud environments are jeopardized when stored on unreliable cloud servers, making it necessary to convert user information into encrypted text that is difficult to understand and analyze, even if it is compromised. The novel encryption method known as Ciphertext Policy Attribute Based Encryption (CPABE) can be used to provide fine-grained access control and privacy in a cloud environment. To avoid the costly bilinear pairings, several researchers suggested CPABE approaches based on the elliptic curve cryptosystem (ECC). But there is a key-escrow concern with these systems. Hence, in this paper, we propose a multi-authority lightweight CPABE methodology. In addition, time and geographical attributes are also taken into consideration to enhance fine-grained access control. Our proposed solution also solves the issue related to dynamic attribute revocation by relegating repeated and tedious tasks to proxy servers. The detailed performance analysis demonstrates that the suggested method outperforms current schemes.
