Attribute-Based Encryption (Abe): Foundations and Applications Within Blockchain and Cloud Environments

Enables readers to understand applications of attribute-based encryption schemes in cloud computing with the support of blockchain technology

With a focus on blockchain technology, Attribute-based Encryption (ABE) provides insight into the application of attribute-based encryption (ABE) schemes with blockchain, discussing types of blockchains, fundamentals of blockchain, and how blockchains are constructed.

Comprised of 16 chapters, the text provides readers with an overview of the components that go into creating a dual ABE system of encryption proofs within the following: composite bilinear groups, dual pairing vector space framework, matrix pairing framework, framework for matrix pairing, and the application of cryptographic scheme on blockchain. The team of authors discuss the basic construction components of ABE and share the security models, including the selective and semi-adaptive security models, applying these to either prime order or composite order groups.

This book also discusses the tools used for converting a composite order ABE scheme to prime order and an adaptive secure ABE scheme based on prime order.

In Attribute-based Encryption (ABE), readers can expect to find information on:

• Mathematical background of ABE, covering group and cyclic group, elliptic curves, curve selection, supersingular curves, ordinary curves, and weil and tate pairing
• Basic construction components of ABE, covering access structure, monotone boolean formula, linear secret-sharing scheme, and ordered binary decision diagram
• Tools for converting composite order ABE schemes to prime order, covering security assumptions and conversion based on vectors for preliminaries, scheme construction, and security proof technique
• Foundations of blockchain technology, covering blocks, miners, hash functions, and public key cryptography

Attribute-based Encryption (ABE) is an essential resource for professionals working in the field of design and cybersecurity who wish to understand how to use blockchain and the ABE scheme to provide fine-grained access control in outsourced data on third-party cloud servers.

使讀者能夠理解在區塊鏈技術的支持下，屬性基加密方案在雲計算中的應用。

以區塊鏈技術為重點，《屬性基加密（ABE）》提供了對使用屬性基加密（ABE）方案與區塊鏈的應用的深入洞察，討論了不同類型的區塊鏈、區塊鏈的基礎知識以及區塊鏈的構建方式。

本書共有16章，為讀者提供了關於創建雙重ABE加密證明系統所需的組件的概述，包括：復合雙線性群、雙配對向量空間框架、矩陣配對框架、矩陣配對框架和在區塊鏈上應用加密方案。作者團隊討論了ABE的基本構建組件，並分享了安全模型，包括選擇性和半適應安全模型，並將其應用於素數次序或復合次序群。

本書還討論了將復合次序ABE方案轉換為素數次序以及基於素數次序的適應性安全ABE方案所使用的工具。

在《屬性基加密（ABE）》中，讀者可以找到以下信息：
