The benefits of the cloud have paved the way for its extensive implementation in large enterprises. However, the data in the cloud have succumbed to various security threats, and its privacy issues remain one of the biggest and topmost concerns for the data owners. Several techniques, such as Attribute-based Encryption (ABE), have been proposed by several researchers to preserve the privacy of the data. However, the issue of security still looms largely over the cloud. In the present work, we introduce the novel encryption model called \u201cAdvanced Encryption Standard\u2013Cipher-text-Identity and Attribute-based Encryption\u201d (AES\u2013CP\u2013IDABE) to preserve data privacy along with its access control. In the proposed scheme, the data have been double encrypted initially through the ABE, along with the attributes and the identity of the user. Secondly, the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is used to encrypt the encrypted data and provide it to the authorized users. The user access control is established using the digital signature with the help of user ID and security keys. Additionally, the set up includes Denial-of-Service (DoS) detection through IP address monitoring and control. The proposed scheme has also been evaluated for its performance in the communication between the user and the data owner, along with the user\u2019s execution time. From the outcome, it is evident that the proposed scheme was more effective than the existing scheme of ABE over execution, encryption, and decryption time. Additionally, the performance over DoS detection and impact of attribute numbers for the proposed scheme was also studied to prove its effectiveness.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/info11080372","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,23]],"date-time":"2020-07-23T10:14:06Z","timestamp":1595499246000},"page":"372","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["AES\u2013CP\u2013IDABE: A Privacy Protection Framework against a DoS Attack in the Cloud Environment with the Access Control Mechanism"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3484-8280","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sonali","family":"Chandel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Nanjing 210003, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Geng","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Nanjing 210003, China"},{"name":"Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Big Data Security &amp; Intelligent Processing, Nanjing 210003, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sumit","family":"Chakravarty","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Kennesaw State University, Marietta, GA 30060, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"98","DOI":"10.1016\/j.is.2014.07.006","article-title":"The rise of \u201cbig data\u201d on cloud computing: Review and open research issues","volume":"47","author":"Hashem","year":"2015","journal-title":"Inf.
