LIP-PA: A Logistics Information Privacy Protection Scheme with Position and Attribute-Based Access Control on Mobile Devices

Abstract EN

With the fast development of Logistics Internet of Things and smart devices, the security of express information processed by mobile devices in Logistics Internet of Things has attracted much attention.

However, the existing secure express schemes only focus on privacy protection of personal information but do not consider the security of the logistics information against couriers with malicious mobile devices.

For example, a privacy-preserving delivery path should be required in order to prevent the privacy leakage in the express delivery procedure.

Therefore, besides the security of personal information, the privacy protection of logistics information and authentication of mobile devices used in express company are important to security in Logistics Internet of Things.

In this paper, we propose a secure logistics information scheme LIP-PA to provide privacy protection of both personal information and logistics information.

First, we define the basic requirements of Logistics Internet of Things.

Then, using attribute-based encryption and position-based key exchange, we propose a logistics information privacy protection scheme with position and attribute-based access control for mobile devices.

The analysis results show that our scheme satisfies the defined requirements.

Finally, the performance of our scheme is evaluated and the experiment results show that our scheme is efficient and feasible for mobile devices in real parcel delivery scenario.
