Abstract

A method of encrypting data, in particular encrypting data in dependence on a user verification confidence level. An encryption algorithm is provided, data is input into the encryption algorithm, along with a public key and an access structure comprising the user verification confidence level. The encryption algorithm is run to output a cypher text of encrypted data, whereby the access structure is embedded into the cypher text such that only an entity satisfying the access structure can decrypt the cypher text.
