Abstract: Cloud computing technology provides various computing resources on demand to users on pay per use basis. The technology fails in terms of its usage due to confidentiality and privacy issues. Access control mechanisms are the tools to prevent unauthorized access to remotely stored data. Cipher Text Policy Attribute-based Encryption (CPABE) is a widely used tool for facilitating authorised users to access the remotely stored encrypted data with fine-grained access control. In the proposed model FIAC, access control mechanism is embedded in cloud-based application. The major contribution of this work is the design of three algorithms all of which are attribute based: Key Generation algorithm, and Encryption and Decryption algorithms. Only authorised users can view them to take appropriate action plans. To enhance security of the cloud-based monitoring system, we have embedded a security scheme, all of which are attribute based. Further, the computation time of the model is found to be encouraging so that it can be used in low power devices. The experimental outcomes establish the usability of our model.
