Abstract: Privacy preserved outsourced data access control is a hard task under the control of third–party storage server. To overcome obstacles in the third party based scenario, Attribute-based signcryption system with bilinear pairing tool is one of the most suitable methods in cloud. It maintains the basic features of security like, authenticity, confidentiality, public verifiability, owner privacy, etc. Although, this method has some challenges like a centralized authority used for user secret key generation for de-signcryption operation, and lack in competent attribute revocation. To overcome the issues, we have proposed a scheme of attribute revocable privacy preserved outsourced based data access control mechanism using Attribute-based signcryption. The proposed method allows multi-authorities for assigning both attribute and secret keys for users along with trusted certified authority, which provides security parameters. The analysis of the proposed method shows less computation cost in decryption and authentication verification. The almost same performance and efficiency is found while comparing with the existing schemes after adding new features.
