Abstract EN
With the development of cryptography, the attribute-based encryption (ABE) draws widespread attention of the researchers in recent years.
The ABE scheme, which belongs to the public key encryption mechanism, takes attributes as public key and associates them with the ciphertext or the user’s secret key.
It is an efficient way to solve open problems in access control scenarios, for example, how to provide data confidentiality and expressive access control at the same time.
In this paper, we survey the basic ABE scheme and its two variants: the key-policy ABE (KP-ABE) scheme and the ciphertext-policy ABE (CP-ABE) scheme.
We also pay attention to other researches relating to the ABE schemes, including multiauthority, user/attribute revocation, accountability, and proxy reencryption, with an extensive comparison of their functionality and performance.
Finally, possible future works and some conclusions are pointed out.
