Abstract
A method performed by a device for identifying a network node within a network to which data will be replicated is disclosed. The method comprises encrypting a session key according to an attribute-based encryption scheme; broadcasting the encrypted session key within the network; receiving at least one message encrypted using the session key from at least one network node within the network; and selecting a network node from the at least one network node to which data will be replicated. A further method, a device and a non-transitory machine-readable medium are also disclosed.
