Improved AB-CPREs with Revocability and HRA Security under LWE by Yang Wang, Mingqiang Wang

“…We further introduce the directly revocable AB-CPREs, a primitive that enables a delegator to authorize and revoke his delegation of decryption rights dynamically and offers more flexible access control on externally stored encrypted data. Definition and security model of single-hop directly revocable AB-CPREs are given, and the first detailed construction of single-hop directly revocable AB-CPREs based on standard LWE assumptions is also proposed.…”
