Currently, cloud storage servers are controlled by a third-party administrator. This semi-trusted approach gives rise to security concerns. Therefore, in cloud computing, some protocols use a key manager to encrypt the user’s private data before uploading the data to the cloud. However, the security concerns that arise from the use of a key manager are not yet solved. In this respect, in this paper, a provably secure user cloud data access control protocol (DAC) is proposed based on existing cloud storage. Empirical tests confirm that the proposed approach is highly secure against adaptive selective ciphertext attacks and has excellent resistance to message attacks. A comprehensive performance evaluation, including time measurements, is conducted and the protocol is compared to other protocols, revealing the efficient file upload and download processes of the proposed approach. The results demonstrate the protocol’s strong security, practicality, and operational efficiency. |
