Attribute-Based Verifiable Conditional Proxy Re-Encryption Scheme

There are mostly semi-honest agents in cloud computing, so agents may perform unreliable calculations during the actual execution process. In this paper, an attribute-based verifiable conditional proxy re-encryption (AB-VCPRE) scheme using a homomorphic signature is proposed to solve the problem that the current attribute-based conditional proxy re-encryption (AB-CPRE) algorithm cannot detect the illegal behavior of the agent. The scheme implements robustness, that is the re-encryption ciphertext, can be verified by the verification server, showing that the received ciphertext is correctly converted by the agent from the original ciphertext, thus, meaning that illegal activities of agents can be effectively detected. In addition, the article demonstrates the reliability of the constructed AB-VCPRE scheme validation in the standard model, and proves that the scheme satisfies CPA security in the selective security model based on the learning with errors (LWE) assumption.
