Abstract: With the exponential growth of cloud data and storage space, cloud security has become one of the interesting research areas of cloud computing servers. Attribute-based encryption is a public key encryption algorithm that allows cloud users to secure their sensitive information in the public cloud servers. Quantum key distribution (QKD) is required to improve the security of communication systems. Quantum cryptographic scheme completely depends on quantum mechanics. The major objective of quantum key distribution is to generate a key that takes part in encryption. Traditional attribute-based encryption models are insecure and possible of key distribution attacks using man-in-the-middle attacks. Also, as the size of the input data increases, traditional ABE models failed to compute efficient secret key due to computational time and network overhead. To overcome these issues, a novel chaotic integrity and quantum key distribution (QKD)-based cipher text policy ABE model is implemented in cloud environment. Experimental results proved that the proposed model has high computation speed, storage overhead and secured key distribution compared to traditional CP-ABE, KPABE and QKD-ABE models.

Keywords: ABE; cipher-text policy attribute-based encryption; CP-ABE; quantum distribution; data security; cloud computing.
