文摘According to the relation of an attribute set and its subset,the author presents a hierarchical attribute-based encryption scheme in which a secret key is associated with an attribute set.A user can delegate the private key corresponding to any subset of an attribute set while he has the private key corresponding to the attribute set.Moreover,the size of the ciphertext is constant,but the size of private key is linear with the order of the attribute set in the hierarchical attribute-based encryption scheme.Lastly,we can also prove that this encryption scheme meets the security of IND-sSETCPA in the standard model.
