Attribute-Based Encryption with Fast Decryption

Abstract: Attribute-based encryption (ABE) is a vision of public key encryption that allows users to encrypt and decrypt messages based on user attributes. This functionality comes at a cost. In a typical implementation, the size of the ciphertext is proportional to the number of attributes associated with it and the decryption time is proportional to the number of attributes used during decryption. Specifically, many practical ABE implementations require one pairing operation per attribute used during decryption.

Secure image encryption algorithm design using a novel chaos based S-Box

Abstract: In this study, an encryption algorithm that uses chaos based S-BOX is developed for secure and speed image encryption. First of all, a new chaotic system is developed for creating S-Box and image encryption algorithm. Chaos based random number generator is designed with the help of the new chaotic system. Then, NIST tests are run on generated random numbers to verify randomness. A new S-Box design algorithm is developed to create the chaos based S-Box to be utilized in encryption algorithm and performance tests are made. As the next step, the new developed S-Box based image encryption algorithm is introduced in detail. Finally, image encryption application is carried out. To show the quality and strong of the encryption process, security analysis are performed. Proposed algorithm is compared with the AES and chaos algorithms. According to tests results, the proposed image encryption algorithm is secure and speed for image encryption application.

Nonce-based symmetric encryption

Abstract: Symmetric encryption schemes are usually formalized so as to make the encryption operation a probabilistic or state-dependent function e of the message M and the key K: the user supplies M and K and the encryption process does the rest, flipping coins or modifying internal state in order to produce a ciphertext C. Here we investigate an alternative syntax for an encryption scheme, where the encryption process e is a deterministic function that surfaces an initialization vector (IV). The user supplies a message M, key K, and initialization vector N, getting back the (one and only) associated ciphertext \(C=\cal E_K^N(M)\). We concentrate on the case where the IV is guaranteed to be a nonce—something that takes on a new value with every message one encrypts. We explore definitions, constructions, and properties for nonce-based encryption. Symmetric encryption with a surfaced IV more directly captures real-word constructions like CBC mode, and encryption schemes constructed to be secure under nonce-based security notions may be less prone to misuse.

Multi-level encryption access point for wireless network

Abstract: A multi-level encryption scheme is provided for a wireless network. A first level of encryption is provided primarily for wireless communications taking place between a mobile terminal and an access point. In addition, a second, higher level of encryption is provided which is distributed beyond the wireless communications onto the system backbone itself. Through a key distribution server/access point arrangement, the second level of encryption provides a secure means for distributing the encryption scheme of the first level without compromising the integrity of the network.

Variable encryption scheme for data transfer between medical devices and related data management systems

Abstract: The present invention provides for an encryption apparatus, system, and method in which data from an Implantable Medical Device (IMD) and a data center could be transferred based on a differentiated encryption system. The encryption scheme allows for the differentiation, segregation, and classification of data at required or needed levels of security. Before transfer of the data, either from an IMD or any other part of a support network for the IMDs, the encryption device begins to distinguish the data. The variable data is then classified based on various levels of security having distinct encryption protocols. After classification the data is encrypted based on the data's level of security. The data is then transmitted. Upon being received the data is then segregated based on whether the data is encrypted. The encrypted data is then de-encrypted and interpreted.
