| Abstract | Most data nowadays are stored in the cloud; therefore, cloud computing and its extension—fog computing—are the most in-demand services at the present time. Cloud and fog computing platforms are largely used by Internet of Things (IoT) applications where various mobile devices, end users, PCs, and smart objects are connected to each other via the internet. IoT applications are common in several application areas, such as healthcare, smart cities, industries, logistics, agriculture, and many more. Due to this, there is an increasing need for new security and privacy techniques, with attribute-based encryption (ABE) being the most effective among them. ABE provides fine-grained access control, enables secure storage of data on unreliable storage, and is flexible enough to be used in different systems. In this paper, we survey ABE schemes, their features, methodologies, benefits/drawbacks, attacks on ABE, and how ABE can be used with IoT and its applications. This survey reviews ABE models suitable for IoT platforms, taking into account the desired features and characteristics. We also discuss various performance indicators used for ABE and how they affect efficiency. Furthermore, some selected schemes are analyzed through simulation to compare their efficiency in terms of different performance indicators. As a result, we find that some schemes simultaneously perform well in one or two performance indicators, whereas none shines in all of them at once. The work will help researchers identify the characteristics of different ABE schemes quickly and recognize whether they are suitable for specific IoT applications. Future work that may be helpful for ABE is also discussed. © 2023 by the authors. |
