Abstract

• Mobile nodes in military environments such as a battlefield or a hostile region

are likely to suffer from intermittent network connectivity and frequent
partitions. Disruption-tolerant network (DTN) technologies are becoming
successful solutions that allow wireless devices carried by soldiers to
communicate with each other and access the confidential information.
• Cipher text-policy attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE) is a promising
cryptographic solution to the access control issues. The problem of applying
CP-ABE in decentralized DTNs introduces several security and privacy
challenges with regard to the attribute revocation, key escrow, and
coordination of attributes issued from different authorities.
• we propose a secure data retrieval scheme using CP-ABE for decentralized
DTNs where multiple key authorities manage their attributes independently.
 Introducti on about project
• Disruption-tolerant network (DTN) technologies are becoming successful solutions
that allow nodes to communicate with each other in these extreme networking
environments.
• Typically, when there is no end-to-end connection between a source and a destination
pair, the messages from the source node may need to wait in the intermediate nodes
for a substantial amount of time until the connection would be eventually

established.
 EXISTING SYSTEM:
• ABE features a mechanism that enables an access control over encrypted data
using access policies and ascribed attributes among private keys and cipher
texts.
• Especially, cipher text-policy ABE (CP-ABE) provides a scalable way of
encrypting data such that the encrypt or defines the attribute set that the
descriptor needs to possess in order to decrypt the cipher text.
 DISADVANTAGES
• The problem of applying the ABE to DTNs introduces several security and
privacy challenges.
• Especially in ABE systems, since each attribute is conceivably shared by
multiple users.
• When multiple authorities manage and issue attributes keys to users
independently with their own master secrets, it is very hard to define fine-
grained access policies over attributes issued from different authorities.
 PROPOSED SYSTEM:
• In this paper, we propose a secure data retrieval scheme using CP-ABE for

decentralized DTNs where multiple key authorities manage their attributes

independently
• First, immediate attribute revocation enhances backward/forward secrecy of

confidential data by reducing the windows of vulnerability.

• Second, encryptors can define a fine-grained access policy using any monotone

access structure under attributes issued from any chosen set of authorities.
• Third, the key escrow problem is resolved by an escrow-free key issuing

protocol that exploits the characteristic of the decentralized DTN architecture.

 ADVANTAGES

• Data confidentiality.
• Collusion-resistance.
• Backward and forward Secrecy.

 Literature Survey
• Secure Data Retrieval for Decentralized Disruption-Tolerant Military Networks
with Attribute Revocation and Lightweight Cryptography (Zhang et al., 2020)
The scheme uses a combination of lightweight cryptographic techniques,
including attribute-based encryption (ABE) and proxy re-encryption (PRE), to
protect the confidentiality and integrity of data. ABE allows data owners to
encrypt their data with an access policy that specifies the attributes that users
must have in order to decrypt the data. PRE allows authorized users to delegate
their decryption rights to other users without revealing the encryption key.

• Secure Data Retrieval for Decentralized Disruption-Tolerant Military Networks with

Attribute Revocation and Post-Quantum Security (Yang et al., 2021)
The scheme is based on ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE)
with a distributed key authority (KA) architecture. The KA is responsible for issuing
attribute keys to users and encrypting data with attribute policies.

allow wireless devices to communicate with each other and access the con fidential
information reliably by exploiting external storage nodes.
• Multiple key authorities manage their attributes independently.

• The fine-grained key revocation can be done for each attribute group.
