Identity-Based and Leakage-Resilient Broadcast Encryption Scheme for Cloud Storage Service

Abstract

Cloud storage services are an important application of cloud computing. An increasing number of data owners store their data on cloud platforms. Since cloud platforms are far away from users, data security and privacy protection are very important issues that need to be addressed. Identity-based broadcast encryption (IBBE) is an important method to provide security and privacy protection for cloud storage services. Because the side channel attacks may lead to the disclosure of the key information of the cryptographic system, which will damage the security of the system, this paper provides an identity-based broadcast encryption with leakage resilience by state partition (LR-SP-IBBE). By using a binary extractor to compensate for the loss in entropy of the symmetric key caused by side-channel attacks, the proposed scheme randomizes the encapsulated symmetric key. Furthermore, using a state partition technique, we split the private key into two parts, and the corresponding decryption was divided into two stages. Through the double-system encryption skill, the security and leakage-resilience were proved in the composite order group model.
