TMACS: A ROBUST AND VERIFIABLE THRESHOLD MULTI-AUTHORITY
ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM IN PUBLIC CLOUD STORAGE
ABSTRACT
Attribute-based Encryption (ABE) is regarded as a promising cryptographic conducting
tool to guarantee data owners’ direct control over their data in public cloud storage. The earlier
ABE schemes involve only one authority to maintain the whole attribute set, which can bring a
single-point bottleneck on both security and performance. Subsequently, some multi-authority
schemes are proposed, in which multiple authorities separately maintain disjoint attribute
subsets. However, the single-point bottleneck problem remains unsolved. In this paper, from
another perspective, we conduct a threshold multi-authority CP-ABE access control scheme for
public cloud storage, named TMACS, in which multiple authorities jointly manage a uniform
attribute set. In TMACS, taking advantage of (t; n) threshold secret sharing, the master key can
be shared among multiple authorities, and a legal user can generate his/her secret key by
interacting with any t authorities. Security and performance analysis results show that TMACS is
not only verifiable secure when less than t authorities are compromised, but also robust when no
less than t authorities are alive in the system. Furthermore, by efficiently combining the
traditional multi-authority scheme with TMACS, we construct a hybrid one, which satisfies the
scenario of attributes coming from different authorities as well as achieving security and system-
level robustness.
EXISTING SYSTEM
There is only one authority responsible for attribute management and key distribution.
This only-one-authority scenario can bring a single-point bottleneck on both security and
performance. Once the authority is compromised, an adversary can easily obtain the only-one-
authority’s master key, and then he/she can generate private keys of any attribute subsetto
decrypt the specific encrypted data. Crash or offline of a specific authority will make that private
keys of all attributes in attribute subset maintained by this authority cannot be generated and
distributed, which will still influence the whole system’s effective operation.

DISADVANTAGES OF EXISTING SYSTEM:
1. Crash or offline of a specific authority will make that private keys of all attributes in
attribute subset maintained by this authority cannot be generated and distributed, which
will still influence the whole system’s effective operation.
2. The access structure is not flexible enough to satisfy complex environments.
Subsequently, much effort has been made to deal with the disadvantages in the early
schemes.
PROPOSED SYSTEM
In this paper, we propose a robust and verifiable threshold multi-authority CP-ABE
access control scheme, named TMACS, to deal with the single-point bottleneck on both security
and performance in most existing schemes. In TMACS, multiple authorities jointly manage the
whole attribute set but no one has full control of any specific attribute. Since in CP-ABE
schemes, there is always a secret key (SK) used to generate attribute private keys, we introduce
(t; n) threshold secret sharing into our scheme to share the secret key among authorities. In
TMACS, we redefine the secret key in the traditional CP-ABE schemes as master key. The
introduction of (t; n) threshold secret sharing guarantees that, the master key cannot be obtained
by any authority alone. TMACS is not only verifiable secure when less than t authorities are
compromised, but also robust when no less than t authorities are alive in the system. To the best
of our knowledge, this paper is the first try to address the singlepoint bottleneck on both security
and performance in CPABE access control schemes in public cloud storage.
ADVANTAGES OF PROPOSED SYSTEM:
1. This only-one-authority scenario can bring a single-point bottleneck on both security and
performance.
2. These CP-ABE schemes are still far from being widely used for access control in public
cloud storage.

MODULE DESCRIPTION
User Module:
In this module, Users are having authentication and security to access the detail which is
presented in the system. Before accessing or searching the details user should have the account in
that otherwise they should register first.
Multi-authority Access control:
We conduct a threshold multi-authority CP-ABE access control scheme for public cloud
storage, named TMACS, in which multiple authorities jointly manage a uniform attribute set. To
the best of our knowledge, we are the first to design multiauthority access control architecture to
deal with the problem. To satisfy this hybrid scenario, we conduct a hybrid multi-authority
access control scheme, by combining the traditional multi-authority scheme with our proposed
TMACS.
Public Cloud Storage:
Cloud storage is an important service of cloud computing which provides services for
data owners to outsource data to store in cloud via Internet. The cloud server is always online
and managed by the cloud provider. Usually, the cloud server and its provider is assumed
“honest-but-curious”. The cloud server does nothing but provide a platform for owners storing
and sharing their encrypted data. The cloud server doesn’t conduct data access control for
owners.
