Ciphertext policy hidden access control scheme based on blockchain and supporting data sharing by Ruizhong DU, Tianhe ZHANG, Pengliang SHI

“…Methods:Firstly,an efficient attribute vector and policy vector generation algorithm is proposed using vector compression technology, which judges whether user attributes satisfy the access policy through the inner product operation result of attribute vector and policy vector.Afterwards, the prime order bilinear group and attribute encryption technology were used to achieve fine-grained access control while avoiding the leakage of user attribute values; using the interstellar file system to store the ciphertext and storing the hash address of the ciphertext on the blockchain through a smart contract,it realizes distributed and reliable access control and reduces the storage overhead of the blockchain. …”
