Abstract
The rapid growth of the digital economy makes finegrained access control more and more challenging. One of the most impacted areas is cloud computing, which for security purposes requires cryptographic access control. Currently, the best solution for that is the use of Attribute-based Cryptography, which allows the definition of access policies, based on the attributes of entities. Unfortunately, this family of schemes comes along with a significant drawback, specifically the required user-side computation is growing with the growth of the complexity of the access policy. We provide a concept, called Formal Language Identitybased Cryptography, which gives a solution to this problem, making finegrained cryptographic access control practical.
