Abstract

Cloud computing develop quickly, which has powerful computing ability and allows authorized users to store and transmit data on cloud servers. Therefore, the security of applications in the cloud environment becomes an inevitable challenge. Therefore, many scholars at home and abroad have studied how to improve the security in cloud environment. The emergence of attribute-based encryption (ABE) has made it a better choice to improve cloud security. Subsequently, since ciphertext attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE) is more suitable for cloud storage than key attribute-based encryption (KP-ABE). Therefore, in view of the efficiency and security of CP-ABE, the CP-ABE’s access structure and revocation mechanism are studied in depth. Finally, we summarizes the weaknesses of the existing ABE schemes and points out the future research directions. So the paper provides a reference for further research.
