Access control scheme to big data using privacy preserving policy

Controlling the access to a huge amount of big data becomes a very challenging issue, especially when big data are stored in the cloud. Ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE) is a encouraging encryption technique that helps end-users to encrypt their data under the access policies defined over some attributes of data consumers and only allows data consumers whose attributes satisfy the access policies to decrypt the data. In CP-ABE, the access policy is attached to the ciphertext in plaintext form, which may also leak some private information about end-users.
