Abstract:
Nowadays, mobile devices offer almost the same level of functionality as standard personal computers. Cloud solution and faster Internet connections allow developers to build applications that do most of data processing in the cloud. On the other hand, cyber-crimes are growing problem and complex information system like cloud solutions are vulnerable to more threats. One of the most dangerous threats, i.e., data loss or leakage, requires countermeasures that will protect against dishonest cloud provider. Group encryption mechanisms are one of the key elements to ensure data privacy. This paper presents a new architecture for group encryption system that uses bilinear mappings. The architecture uses cloud solutions and supports mobile devices. Pros and cons of moving cryptographic operations to a cloud and resulting from the analysis of the demonstration system are discussed.
