Abstract
Data sharing has become a key technology to break down data silos in the big data era. Ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE) is widely used in secure data-sharing schemes to realize flexible and fine-grained access control. However, in traditional CP-ABE schemes, the access structure is directly shared along with the ciphertext, potentially leading to users’ private information leakage. Outsourcing data to a centralized third party can easily result in privacy leakage and single-point bottlenecks, and the lack of transparency in data storage and sharing casts doubts whether users’ data are safe. To address these issues, we propose a blockchain-based CP-ABE scheme with partially hidden access structures (BCP-ABE-PHAS) to achieve fine-grained access control while ensuring user privacy. First, we propose an efficient CP-ABE scheme with partially hidden access structures, where the ciphertext size is constant. To assist data decryption, we design a garbled Bloom filter to help users quickly locate the position of wildcards in the access structure. Then, to improve storage efficiency and system scalability, we propose a data storage scheme that combines blockchain technology and the interplanetary file system, ensuring data integrity. Finally, we employ smart contracts for a transparent data storage and sharing process without third-party participation. Security analysis and performance evaluation show that the proposed BCP-ABE-PHAS scheme can preserve policy privacy with efficient storage and low computational overhead.
