报告摘要：
This report concentrates on practical Key-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption (KP-ABE) with semantic security against adaptively chosen ciphertext attacks (CCA2) in the standard model. We propose a direct CCA2-secure KP-ABE based on a recent KP-ABE scheme that is proven to be secure against chosen-plaintext attacks (CPA) at only the cost of a Chameleon hash. Instead of extending one user hierarchy in the recent Boyen-Mei-Waters approach from CPA-secure (l+1)-Hierarchical Identity Based Encryption ((l+1)-HIBE) to CCA2-secure l-HIBE, our approach only adds one on-the-fly dummy attribute. Further, our approach only requires that the underlying ABE is selectively secure. A major obstacle for security proof in this scenario is that the simulator cannot prepare the challenge ciphertext associated with the on-the-fly dummy attribute due to the selective security constraint. We circumvent this obstacle with a Chameleon hash. Technically, unlike the previous main use of Chameleon hash in (online/offline) signature applications, our work shows Chameleon hash can also have unique applications in the constructions and the security proofs of encryption schemes.
