Talk:Attribute-based encryption

Earlier Version
An earlier version of this page contained original research regarding credit for ABE to an unpublished manuscript. However, Google Scholar and other research papers consistently cite Sahai-Waters (755 citations on Google Scholar as of May 31 2013) and Goyal-Pandey-Sahai-Waters (762 citations on Google Scholar as of May 31 2013) for the concept of Attribute-Based Encryption. The discussion of the Juels-Szydlo paper (0 citations on Google Scholar, unpublished) has been moved to a later section on other concepts called Attribute-Based Encryption. This edit should not be reversed without further discussion.

The reference on the last paragraph contains a wrong link, please fix it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Earendil02 (talk • contribs) 07:56, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

Article
Attribute-based encryption '''is a type of public-key encryption in which the secret key of a user and the ciphertext are dependent upon attributes (e.g. the country he lives, or the kind of subscription he has). In such a system, the decryption of a ciphertext is possible only if the set of attributes of the user key matches the attributes of the ciphertext.[1] A crucial security aspect of Attribute-Based Encryption is collusion-resistance: An adversary that holds multiple keys should only be able to access data if at least one individual key grants access.'''

The concept of attribute-based encryption was first proposed in a landmark work by Amit Sahai and Brent Waters [2] and later by Vipul Goyal, Omkant Pandey, Amit Sahai and Brent Waters.[3] Recently, several researchers have further proposed Attribute-based encryption with multiple authorities who jointly generate users' private keys.[4][5][6][7][8][9]

Introduction to Attribute Based Encryption (ABE)
The concept of attribute-based encryption was first proposed in a landmark work by Amit Sahai and Brent Waters [1] and later by Vipul Goyal, Omkant Pandey, Amit Sahai and Brent Waters [2]. It '''is a type of public-key encryption in which the secret key of a user and the ciphertext are dependent upon attributes (e.g. the country he lives, or the kind of subscription he has). In such a system, the decryption of a ciphertext is possible only if the set of attributes of the user key matches the attributes of the ciphertext. A crucial security feature of Attribute-Based Encryption is collusion-resistance: An adversary that holds multiple keys should only be able to access data if at least one individual key grants access.'''

 * Good observation. The article you quote is poor anyway from several points of view. I doubt there will even be a theoretical plagiarism issue once the ABE article has been made accurate and up to date. (It is offline for at least today.)
