Abstract

En 中文

BIM collaborative design involves numerous participants from various specialties who create and share vast amounts of design data at different design stages to ensure the efficient transmission of design data between these specialties. It is imperative for the BIM collaborative design platform to guarantee the security of design data and effectively trace any instances of malicious leakage or tampering. Therefore, this paper proposes a traceable ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption scheme (TCP-ABE) that formulates a dynamic data access control mechanism based on different participants and effectively tracks malicious users in the event of risks such as tampering, theft, and unauthorized access to BIM data. In this scheme, the user's identity information is embedded into their private key as a key component, ensuring that only users who satisfy the access policy can decrypt it. The compromised private key allows for tracing of the user's identity. Additionally, Linear Secret Sharing Scheme (LSSS) is employed as the access structure with the user's attribute set divided into an attribute name set and an attribute value set to protect privacy by concealing the latter within the access policy. Furthermore, the scheme integrates blockchain with cloud storage as a trusted third-party storage mechanism to ensure data integrity. Finally, the TCP-ABE scheme is comprehensively evaluated by comparing its strengths and weaknesses with other algorithms. This evaluation includes a theoretical analysis of functional and computational time overhead aspects, as well as an experimental analysis of initialization time, data encryption time, and data decryption time. The scheme exhibits excellent performance across all stages and encompasses the most comprehensive functionalities, as demonstrated by the comparative analysis and experimental results.
