Description
Summary:Internet of Things (IoT) devices require lower power consumption with higher security, which can be achieved by using lightweight cryptography (LWC) approaches. Attribute-based encryption (ABE) provides a fine-grained access control policy over encrypted data, making it useful in IoT-based cloud storage for allowed data protection. However, the conventional ABE approaches resulted in poor security performance against various attacks in the IoT environment. So, in this paper, the LWC-ABE method is proposed to enhance the security performance against various attacks in the IoT environment. The proposed LWC-ABE contains only multiple trusted authority environments, which is a bottleneck in IoT servers and IoT devices. The proposed LWC-ABE method supports high expressiveness, access policy updates, large attribute domains, and white box traceability properties. The simulation results shows that the proposed LWC-ABE resulted in reduced encryption and decryption times for multi users, different message sizes scenarios as compared to conventional approaches. The numerical outcomes of the proposed method are much better based on performance of encryption and decryption times as 0.000835 and 0.000310 respectively.
