Certificateless Proxy Reencryption Scheme (CPRES)‎ Based on Hyperelliptic Curve for Access Control in Content-Centric Network (CCN)‎

الملخص EN

Information-centric networking is the developing model envisioned by an increasing body of the data communication research community, which shifts the current network paradigm from host centric to data centric, well-known to information-centric networking (ICN).

Further, the ICN adopts different types of architectures to extend the growth of the Internet infrastructure, e.g., name-based routing and in-network caching.

As a result, the data can be easily routed and accessed within the network.

However, when the producer generates contents for authentic consumers, then it is necessary for him/her to have a technique for content confidentiality, privacy, and access control.

To provide the previously mentioned services, this paper presents a certificateless proxy reencryption scheme (CPRES) based on the hyperelliptic curve for access control in the content-centric network (CCN).

Using certificateless PRE, the power of the key generation center (KGC) is limited to only the generation of partial keys to secure the access to the content.

With the help of these partial keys, the producer further calculates keys for encryption and reencryption process.

The simulation results show that the proposed scheme provides secure access to content during end-to-end communication.

Moreover, the proposed CPRES scheme outperforms in terms of low computational energy and efficient utilization of communication bandwidth.
