Abstract

Nowadays the mobile devices are becoming the necessities in our life, while they are generally resource-constrained, CP-ABE schemes designed for mobile devices should have the property of low computational complexity, therefore Online/Offline mechanism has prospect future in cryptographic mechanism. In this paper, we attempt to construct an unbounded Online/Offline CP-ABE scheme based on a non-monotonic access structure. During the offline phase, most of the computations for encryption are done; during the online phase, we transform the non-monotonic access structure with positive attribute sets into a monotonic access structure which is based on the LSSS access structure with positive and negative attribute sets, then it only needs a small amount of addition and multiplication operations for the rest components of encryption. Compared with the original non-monotonic CP-ABE scheme, our scheme remains the same on the public keys and the master secret keys, with only a small increase in computational complexity. The computational complexity during online phase is very small.
