Abstract: The requirement of cloud data sharing is becoming increasingly important to achieve flexible, scalable, reliable and fine grained access control. Currently decentralized access control model is widely used for data sharing in cloud environment. The existing multi authority decentralized data sharing model is discouraged for practical use due to its inefficiency in decryption and attribute revocation. Attribute revocation method is not supported by most of existing decentralized data sharing model. In this paper we propose a new data sharing model which supports decryption outsourcing as well as attribute revocation. In our proposed model most of the computational operations of decryption is transfered to cloud server which was earlier carried out by user. The use of linear secret sharing scheme strengthen the access control policy. The performance of our model outperforms LWABE in comparison with communication cost, secret key update ciphertext update and decryption cost. The cost incurred during encryption process of our model is almost same as LWABE.
