Abstract
DTN technologies are fast becoming popular and successful solutions in military applications that permit or enable wireless devices in the network to communicate with each other and access the confidential data infallible or in a trustworthy manner by utilizing the storage nodes. However, the problem of applying CP-ABE in decentralized DTNs introduces several security and privacy challenges with regard to the attribute revocation, key escrow, and coordination of attributes issued from different authorities. The ABE scheme provides access controls mechanism over an encrypted data with its policies and attributes over private and master keys, and cipher texts (CP-ABE). Scalability is provided by CPABE for data encryption and decryption. For decryption to take place the decryptor must possess some attributes that matches or corresponds with the one defined by security policy of the access control. We show how to apply the proposed scheme in securing and effectively manage the confidential data distribution in the DTN network.
