1.  INTRODUCTION

 

The convergence of cryptography and management has become imperative in today’s digital landscape, where securing sensitive information and ensuring authorized access are paramount. Traditional public key cryptosystems rely on complex public key infrastructures (PKIs), necessitating trusted third-party certificate authorities (Bubna & Jha, 1984). To address these limitations, Identity-Based Cryptography (IBC) and Attribute-Based Cryptography (ABC) have emerged as promising solutions (Goyal et al. 2006, October; Anand, Khemchandani & Sharma, 2013, September).

In 1984, Shamir introduced IBC, leveraging users’ identifier information as public keys, simplifying key management and reducing PKI complexities (Baek et al. 2004, September). Constructing an identity-based encryption scheme was a challenging problem that remained unsolved until 2001. In that year, both Boneh and Franklin, as well as Cocks, independently found solutions to this issue. Their breakthroughs made significant contributions to the field of cryptography. These advancements paved the way for the development of practical identity- based encryption systems. As a result, the concept of identity-based encryption became a feasible and impactful solution in secure communication.

ABC offers a more flexible framework, enabling cryptographic keys to be generated based on user attributes rather than a single identity. This attribute-centric approach facilitates fine- grained access control and enhances privacy by allowing users to disclose only relevant attributes.

IBC and ABC have far-reaching implications for securing digital ecosystems, particularly in cloud computing, IoT, and big data environments. This paper provides a comprehensive review of IBC and ABC, comparing their underlying principles, strengths, and weaknesses. We explore their diverse applications across various sectors, highlighting how these cryptographic methods can enhance security in today’s digital age.

2.  TECHNICAL OVERVIEW OF IBC AND ABC ALGORITHMS

 

2.1  Identity-Based Cryptography (IBC)

 

IBC algorithms utilize users’ identifier information as public keys (Baek et al. 2004, September; Anand, Khemchandani & Sharma, 2013, September).

2.1.1  Setup

 

The Private Key Generator (PKG) runs this algorithm once to create the IBE environment.

 

Mathematically, this involves:

 

• Choosing two cyclic groups, G1 and G2, of prime order q

 

• Selecting a generator g ∈ G1
• Defining a bilinear pairing e: G1 × G2 → GT

 

• Generating system parameters (G1, G2, e, g, n)

 

• Creating a master key (Km)

 

The master key is kept secret to derive user private keys, while system parameters are publicized.

Clarification: In IBC setup, the PKG generates system parameters and a master key, enabling efficient key management.

2.1.2  Private Key Extraction

 

The PKG runs this algorithm when a user requests their private key.

 

Mathematically, this involves:

 

• Computing the user’s private key d = Km × QID, where QID = H1(ID)

 

• Using the hash function H1: {0,1}* → G1

 

Clarification: Private key extraction involves computing the user’s private key using the master key and the user’s ID.

2.1.3  Encryption

 

This algorithm encrypts messages using the recipient’s ID.

 

Mathematically, this involves:

 

• Computing ciphertext c = (rP, m × e(QID, Kpub)^r), where r ∈R Zq*
• Using the recipient’s ID to compute QID = H1(ID)

 

Clarification: IBC encryption uses the recipient’s ID to compute the ciphertext.

 

2.1.4  Decryption

 

This algorithm decrypts ciphertext using the private key (Bethencourt, Sahai & Waters, 2007, May).

Mathematically, this involves:

 

• Computing plaintext m = c2 × e(dID, c1)^(-1), where c = (c1, c2)

 

• Using the private key dID to decrypt

 

Clarification: IBC decryption uses the private key to recover the plaintext.

 

2.2  Attribute-Based Cryptography (ABC)

 

ABC algorithms extend IBC by viewing user identities as sets of attributes (Goyal et al. 2006, October; Das, Chakraborty & Banerjee, 2023).

2.2.1  Fuzzy Identity-Based Encryption (FIBE)

 

FIBE enables coarse-grained access control (Sahai & Waters, (2005). Mathematically, this involves:

• Defining a similarity metric between attribute sets

 

• Computing ciphertext c = (c1, c2), where c1 = rP and c2 = m × e(QID, Kpub)^r

 

Clarification: FIBE uses attribute similarity metrics for access control.

 

2.2.2  Key-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption (KP-ABE)

 

KP-ABE enables fine-grained access control (Thakur, Ranga & Agarwal, 2024, February). Mathematically, this involves:

• Defining an access structure (AS) as a Boolean formula

 

• Computing ciphertext c = (c1, c2), where c1 = rP and c2 = m × e(QID, Kpub)^r

 

Clarification: KP-ABE uses access structures for fine-grained access control.

 

2.2.3  Ciphertext-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption (CP-ABE)

 

CP-ABE introduces policy-based encryption.

 

Mathematically, this involves:

 

• Defining a policy (P) as a Boolean formula

 

• Computing ciphertext c = (c1, c2), where c1 = rP and c2 = m × e(QID, Kpub)^r

 

Clarification: CP-ABE uses policies for encryption.

 

2.3  Integration with Management Principles

 

The integration of cryptographic algorithms with management principles enhances security, efficiency, and compliance. By aligning IBC and ABC with organizational policies, implementing robust identity and attribute management, and ensuring scalability, organizations can achieve robust security, streamlined operations, and effective access control. This convergence enables role-based access control, attribute-based access control, separation of duties, and least privilege principles, ultimately protecting sensitive information and ensuring authorized access.

Furthermore, integrating IBC and ABC with management principles facilitates:
