Since the devices in cloud-assisted IoT are generally resource-constrained, the lightweight CP-ABE is more suitable for the cloud-assisted IoT. So how to construct the lightweight CP-ABE for the cloud-assisted IoT to achieve the fine-grained access control and ensure the privacy and confidentiality simultaneously is a prominent challenge. Thus, in this paper, we propose a constant-size CP-ABE scheme with outsourced decryption for the cloud-assisted IoT. In our scheme, the ciphertexts and the attribute-based private keys for users are both of constant size, which can alleviate the transmission overhead and reduce the occupied storage space. Our outsourced decryption algorithm is privacy-protective, which means the proxy server cannot know anything about the access policy of the ciphertext and the attributes set of the user during performing the online partial decryption algorithm. This will prevent the privacy from leaking out to the proxy server. And we rigorously prove that our scheme is selectively indistinguishably secure under the chosen ciphertext attacks (IND-CCA) in the random oracle model (ROM). Finally, by evaluating and implementing our scheme as well as other CP-ABE schemes, we can observe that our scheme is more suitable and applicable for cloud-assisted IoT.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2021\/6676862","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,5]],"date-time":"2021-05-05T23:36:36Z","timestamp":1620257796000},"page":"1-16","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Fully Constant-Size CP-ABE with Privacy-Preserving Outsourced Decryption for Lightweight Devices in Cloud-Assisted IoT"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2021","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7638-1901","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Zhishuo","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information and Software Engineering, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC), Chengdu, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information and Software Engineering, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC), Chengdu, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6745-6377","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Zhiguang","family":"Qin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information and Software Engineering, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC), Chengdu, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/I-SMAC.2017.8058246"},{"issue":"1","key":"2","first-page":"1","article-title":"Towards internet of things: survey and future vision","volume":"5","author":"O.
