Unified Attribute-Based Encryption Scheme for Industrial Internet of Things

The Internet of Things (IoT) provides significant benefits for industry due to connect the devices together through the internet. Attribute-Based Encryption (ABE) is a technique can enforce an access control over data to guarantee the data security. In this paper, we propose an ABE scheme for data in industrial IoT. The scheme achieves both security and high performance. When there is a shared subpolicy among the access policies of a sensor, the scheme optimizes the encryption of the messages. Through analysis and simulation, we show that our solution is security and efficient.
