摘要

Ciphertext-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption (CP-ABE) is a promising one-to-many public key encryption mechanism that provides fine-grained access control to encrypted data. However, most of the existing CP-ABE schemes are not resilient to quantum attacks. To resist attacks posed by quantum computers, lattice-based CP-ABE schemes were proposed, but these schemes face challenges such as the key abuse problem caused by malicious users and authorities, which raises significant security concerns in cloud environments because secret keys directly affect users’ data access. Further, these schemes are inefficient due to complex sampling algorithms. To address these issues, this paper proposes a quantum-resistant traceable, revocable, and key escrow-free CP-ABE (QR-TRK-CP-ABE) from the module lattice. QR-TRK-CP-ABE security is proven against chosen plaintext attacks (CPA) and traceability under Module-Learning with Errors (M-LWE) assumptions. Further, QR-TRK-CP-ABE also resists collusion attacks. The performance analysis demonstrates that QR-TRK-CP-ABE achieves competitive efficiency compared to existing lattice-based CP-ABE schemes while providing enhanced security features.
