Attribute-Based Encryption

Definition

Attribute-Based Encryption is a cryptographic method that permits data access based on user characteristics. This system grants decryption capabilities only to individuals whose set of attributes satisfies a predefined policy associated with the encrypted data. It offers fine-grained access control, allowing precise regulation over who can access specific information within a decentralized network. This cryptographic primitive finds utility in scenarios demanding conditional access to sensitive digital assets or records.
