Abstract

Dual-Policy Attribute Based Encryption (DP-ABE), proposed in 2009, is a combination of two variants, Ciphertext Policy-ABE (CP-ABE) and Key Policy-ABE (KP-ABE), where an encryptor can associate the data simultaneously with both a set of objective attributes and of subjective access policies. Or, a user is given a private key assigned simultaneously for both a set of objective attributes and a subjective access policy. A major problem of the above DP-ABE scheme is the ciphertext size linear to the number of attributes while the LSSS access structure can be assumed. We propose two novel DP-ABEs, which achieve constant-size ciphertext, regardless of the number of attributes in a logical AND data access policy with wildcards. We present two constructions: the first scheme under the q-Bilinear Diffie Hellman Exponent (q-BDHE) and the second scheme under the Decisional Bilinear-Diffie-Hellman assumptions (DBDH).
