Abstract:
The need to share and manipulate sensitive data is a challenge for most content providers using the cloud for storage. The objective of this work is to propose an architecture to ensure a distributed access control to secure sharing of sensitive electronic documents in the cloud. This paper will explain the architecture of the model, details of the protocols, implementation, and analysis on security, usability, and performance. The main features of the proposed model are: the use of Identity-Based Encryption, byzantine fault tolerance, reliable integrity check, secure user revocation, low complexity in the management of cryptographic keys and secure sharing of sensitive electronic documents.
