To mitigate this problem, we propose the black box traceable ciphertext policy attribute-based encryption (T-CP-ABE) scheme in which if the PKG re-distributes the users\u2019 private keys for malicious uses, it might be caught and sued. We provide a construction to realize the T-CP-ABE scheme in a black box model. Our scheme is based on the decisional bilinear Diffie-Hellman (DBDH) assumption in the standard model. In our scheme, we employ a pair (ID, S) to identify a user, where ID denotes the identity of a user and S denotes the attribute set associated with her.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/info6030481","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,8,18]],"date-time":"2015-08-18T02:36:16Z","timestamp":1439865376000},"page":"481-493","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Black Box Traceable Ciphertext Policy Attribute-Based Encryption Scheme"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Xingbing","family":"Fu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information and Software Engineering, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu, 610054, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xuyun","family":"Nie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information and Software Engineering, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu, 610054, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fagen","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu, 611731, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,8,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"253","article-title":"Functional encryption: Definitions and challenges","volume":"Volume 6597","author":"Boneh","year":"2011","journal-title":"Theory of Cryptography, Proceedings of the 8th Theory of Cryptography Conference, TCC 2011"},{"key":"ref_2","first-page":"318","article-title":"Functional Encryption and Its Impact on Cryptography","volume":"Volume 8642","author":"Hoeteckee","year":"2014","journal-title":"Security and Cryptography for Networks, Proceedings of the 9th International Conference, SCN 2014"},{"key":"ref_3","first-page":"457","article-title":"Fuzzy identity-based encryption","volume":"Volume 3494","author":"Sahai","year":"2005","journal-title":"Advances in Cryptology\u2014EUROCRYPT 2005, Proceedings of the 24th Annual International Conference on the Theory and Applications of Cryptographic Techniques"},{"key":"ref_4","unstructured":"Goyal, V., Pandey, O., Sahai, A., and Waters, B.
