Attribute-based re-encryption scheme in the standard model

In this paper, we propose a new attribute-based proxy re-encryption scheme, where a semi-trusted proxy, with some additional information, can transform a ciphertext under a set of attributes into a new ciphertext under another set of attributes on the same message, but not vice versa, furthermore, its security was proved in the standard model based on decisional bilinear Diffie-Hellman assumption. This scheme can be used to realize fine-grained selectively sharing of encrypted data, but the general proxy re-encryption scheme severely can not do it, so the proposed scheme can be thought as an improvement of general traditional proxy re-encryption scheme.
