Title
A hierarchical group key agreement protocol using orientable attributes for cloud computing.
Abstract
•Hierarchical group key agreement. In this protocol, different secret information is shared among a set of member who have different levels of authority. When one people has some secret information, he can exchange information with some peoples who have the appropriate level of security permissions, other than all the members in the group.•Attribute-based authentication. The HGKA-OA not only preserves the advantages of traditional identity-based key agreement protocol, but also provides some new properties, such as hiding the identity information of the individual, increasing the flexibility of key management.•Key self-certified and Lightweight. All participants can verify the group keys correctness without any other additional communication. The proposed scheme eliminates a majority of the computation task of terminals besides moving identity authentication computation to the registration. In addition, the group key factors are also calculated before the group key agreement, which eliminates most of computation overhead due to group key agreement.
