Abstract
Recent years have seen the trend to leverage cloud-based services for large scale content storage, processing, and distribution. Security and privacy are among top concerns for public cloud environments. Towards the end-to-end content confidentiality protection, we propose , a scheme for securely sharing and distributing data via cloud-based data storage and content delivery services (e.g., Amazon S3 and CloudFront). CloudSeal ensures the confidentiality of content stored in public cloud storage services, by encrypting it before sharing at the cloud. To achieve flexible access control policies, CloudSeal further adopts -out-of- secret sharing and broadcast revocation mechanisms to renew shared secrets, e.g., when a user joins or leaves a content sharing group. Most importantly, CloudSeal leverages proxy re-encryption algorithm to transfer part of stored cipher content in the cloud, which can be decrypted by a valid user with updated secret keys. We achieve this property without modifying most of the encrypted content. This feature is critical for the efficiency of content distribution.
