Abstract
Nowadays, data outsourcing in the cloud is used widely and popularly by people. It also arises several security problems. To control access of outsourced data with different priority becomes an important research issue. Recently, Chen et al. proposed the first hierarchical access control scheme in cloud computing. However, they did not concern with the time-bound property. In some applications such as Pay-TV, the time-bound property is necessary because subscriber may subscribe some channels during one month. In this paper, we propose the first time-bound hierarchical key management scheme in cloud computing without tamper-resistant devices. The security analysis demonstrates that the proposed scheme is provably secure against outsider and insider attacks.
