Abstract

A Quantum Ciphertext-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption scheme (QCP-ABE) has been presented. In classical domain, most of the popular ABE schemes are based on the hardness of the Bilinear Diffie-Hellman Exponent problem, which has been proven to be vulnerable against Shor's algorithm. Recently, some quantum safe ABE schemes have been proposed exploiting the Lattice problem. However, no efficient Quantum Attribute-Based Encryption scheme has been reported till date. In this backdrop, in the present initiative, we propose a quantum CP-ABE scheme exploiting Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and Quantum Error Correcting code. A Semi Quantum version of the scheme has also been considered. Finally, we introduced dynamic access structure in our proposed protocols.
