Proxy Re-Encryption Scheme For Complicated Access Control Factors Description in Hybrid Cloud

Hybrid cloud has both the strong computing power of public cloud and easy control of private cloud. It provides users with robust services and convenience, meanwhile faces numerous security challenges. How to implement the effective access control is one of them, the purpose of which is deploying policy in private cloud to protect the ciphertext in public cloud. Furthermore, it becomes more and more difficult to describe the access control policy, which is suitable for multi-factor and dynamic updating. Considering the issues above, we propose a proxy re-encryption (PRE) scheme for complicated access control factors description in hybrid cloud. Firstly, we build the system model combining PRE with access control in hybrid cloud. Secondly, we design the algorithm for our scheme including the key construction with multi-factor and its weight, which achieve the target of dynamic updating. Finally, we analyze the security of this scheme by the mathematical method and performance by theory, experiment and comparisons with some other works. Our scheme has made the deployment of access control in hybrid cloud more reliable and scalable.
