Abstract

En 中文
Cloud computing has enabled data-sharing to be more convenient than ever before. However, data security is a major concern that prevents cloud computing from being widely adopted. A potential solution to secure data- sharing in cloud computing is proxy re-encryption (PRE), which allows a proxy to transform encrypted data from one key to another without accessing the plaintext. When using PRE, various challenges arise, including the leak of information by a trusted third party, collusion attacks, and issues associated with revocation. To overcome these challenges, this paper proposes a novel Certificateless Proxy Reencryption with Cryptographic Reverse Firewall for Secure Cloud Data Sharing (CLPRE-CRF). The new scheme enables secure distribution of encrypted data from a data owner to users through public clouds. Meanwhile, the CLPRE-CRF scheme can resist exfiltration of secret information and forgery of ciphertext in case the scheme is compromised. In addition, the scheme provides a flexible revocation mechanism to prevent unauthorized access to private data. The security analysis demonstrates that the CLPRE-CRF resists chosen-plaintext attacks and collusion attacks. Moreover, performance evaluation indicates that our scheme achieves a 14% and 22% reduction in computation costs during the encryption and decryption algorithms, respectively. Therefore, the proposed CLPRE-CRF scheme is well-suited for cloud computing environments.
