Abstract

Various embodiments relate to a method and apparatus for policy-hiding on ciphertext-policy attribute based encryption, the method including the steps of categorizing each of a plurality of attributes into a plurality of groups where each of the plurality of groups has a group attribute, inputting a policy and a message into an encryption algorithm and outputting a ciphertext; and encrypting an AND subtree in the policy and outputting a sub-cipher.
