Abstract
Digital security as a service is a crucial aspect as it deals with user privacy provision and secure content delivery to legitimate users. Most social media platforms utilize end-to-end encryption as a significant security feature. However, multimedia data transmission in group communication is not encrypted. One of the most important objectives for a service provider is to send the desired multimedia data/service to only legitimate subscriber. Broadcast encryption is the most appropriate cryptographic primitive solution for this problem. Therefore, this study devised a construction called anonymous revocable identity-based broadcast encryption that preserves the privacy of messages broadcasted and the identity of legitimate users, where even revoked users cannot extract information about the user’s identity and sent data. The update key is broadcast periodically to non-revoked users, who can obtain the message using the update and decryption keys. A third-party can also revoke the users. It is proven that the proposed construction is semantically secure against IND-ID-CPA attacks and efficient in terms of computational cost and communication bandwidth.
