- 1. Privacy Preserving Delegated Access Control in Public Clouds ABSTRACT: Current approaches to enforce fine-grained access control on confidential data hosted in the cloud are based on fine-grained encryption of the data. Under such approaches, data owners are in charge of encrypting the data before uploading them on the cloud and re-encrypting the data whenever user credentials change. Data owners thus incur high communication and computation costs. A better approach should delegate the enforcement offline-grained access control to the cloud, so to minimize the overhead at the data owners, while assuring data confidentiality from the cloud. We propose an approach, based on two layers of encryption that addresses such requirement. Under our approach, the data owner performs a coarse-grained encryption, whereas the cloud performs a fine-grained encryption on top of the owner encrypted data. A challenging issue is how to decompose access control policies (ACPs) such that the two layer encryption can be performed. We show that this problem is NP-complete and propose novel optimization algorithms. We utilize an efficient group key management scheme that supports expressive ACPs. Our system assures the confidentiality of the data and preserves the privacy of users from the cloud while delegating most of the access control enforcement to the cloud.

- 2. EXISTING SYSTEM: Many organizations have today ACPs regulating which users can access which data; these ACPs are often expressed in terms of the properties of the users, referred to as identity attributes, using access control languages such as XACML. Such an approach, referred to as attribute based access control (ABAC), supports fine-grained access control which is crucial for high-assurance data security and privacy. Supporting ABAC over encrypted data is a critical requirement in order to utilize cloud storage services for selective data sharing among different users. Notice that often user identity attributes encode private information and should thus is strongly protected from the cloud, very much as the data themselves. Approaches based on encryption have been proposed for fine-grained access control over encrypted data. Those approaches group data items based on ACPs and encrypt each group with a different symmetric key. Users then are given only the keys for the data items they are allowed to access. Extensions to reduce the number of keys that need to be distributed to the users have been proposed exploiting hierarchical and other relationships among data items DISADVANTAGES OF EXISTING SYSTEM: As the data owner does not keep a copy of the data, when ever user dynamics changes, the data owner needs to download and decrypt the data, re-encrypt it with the new keys, and upload the encrypted data. The user dynamics refers to the operation of adding or revoking users. Notice also that this process must be applied to all the data items encrypted with the same key. This is inefficient when the data set to be re-encrypted is large. In order to issue the new keys to the users, the data owner needs to establish private communication channels with the users. The privacy of the identity attributes of the users is not taken into account. Therefore the cloud can learn sensitive information about the users and their organization. They are either unable or inefficient in supporting fine-grained ABAC policies.
- 3. PROPOSED SYSTEM: In this paper, we propose a new approach to address this shortcoming. The approach is based on two layers of encryption applied to each data item uploaded to the cloud. Under this approach, referred to as two layer encryption (TLE), the data owner performs a coarse grained encryption over the data in order to assure the confidentiality of the data from the cloud. Then the cloud performs fine grained encryption over the encrypted data provided by the data owner based on the ACPs provided by the data owner. It should be noted that the idea of two layer encryption is not new. However, the way we perform coarse and fine grained encryption is novel and provides a better solution than existing solutions based on two layers of encryption. We elaborate in details on the differences between our approach and existing solutions in the related work section. A challenging issue in the TLE approach is how to decompose the ACPs so that fine-grained ABAC enforcement can be delegated to the cloud while at the same time the privacy of the identity attributes of the users and confidentiality of the data are assured. In order to delegate as much access control enforcement as possible to the cloud, one needs to decompose the ACPs such that the data owner manages minimum number of attribute conditions in those ACPs that assures the confidentiality of data from the cloud. Each ACP should be decomposed to two sub ACPs such that the conjunction of the two sub ACPs result in the original ACP. The two layer encryption should be performed such that the data owner first encrypts the data based on one set of sub ACPs and the cloud re-encrypts the encrypted data using the other set of ACPs. The two encryptions together enforce the ACP as users should perform two decryptions to access the data. ADVANTAGES OF PROPOSED SYSTEM: The TLE approach has many advantages. When user dynamics changes, only the outer layer of the encryption needs to be updated. Since the outer layer encryption is performed at the cloud, no data transmission is required between the data owner and the cloud.

Instead, users are given one or more secrets which allow them to derive the actual symmetric keys for decrypting the data.
