The advent of digital technologies has heightened the need for robust cryptographic solutions,
necessitating the convergence of technical and managerial expertise. ID-based cryptography
and attribute-based cryptography have emerged as vital alternatives to traditional public key
cryptography, addressing key distribution and access control challenges. This paper provides
an insightful exploration of these paradigms, examining their mechanisms, applications,
advantages, and challenges.
We discuss the theoretical foundations of ID-based and attribute-based cryptography, including
bilinear pairings and cryptographic primitives. Our analysis delves into the managerial
implications of implementing these cryptographic solutions, considering factors such as
scalability, security, and usability.
This study contributes to the understanding of cryptographic convergence, bridging the gap
between technical and managerial perspectives. Our findings highlight the potential of IDbased and attribute-based cryptography in securing digital ecosystems, particularly in cloud
computing, IoT, and big data environments.
