The Internet of Things (IoT) provides significant benefits for industry due to connect the devices together through the internet. Attribute-Based Encryption (ABE) is a technique can enforce an access control over data to guarantee the data security. In this paper, we propose an ABE scheme for data in industrial IoT. The scheme achieves both security and high performance. When there is a shared subpolicy among the access policies of a sensor, the scheme optimizes the encryption of the messages. Through analysis and simulation, we show that our solution is security and efficient.

Advancing network technologies allows the setup of two-way communication links between energy providers and consumers. These developing technologies aim to enhance grid reliability and energy efficiency in smart grids. To achieve this goal, energy usage reports from consumers are required to be both trustworthy and confidential. In this paper, we construct a new data aggregation scheme in smart grids based on a homomorphic encryption algorithm. In the constructed scheme, obedient consumers who follow the instruction can prove its ajustment using a range proof protocol. Additionally, we propose a new identity-based signature algorithm in order to ensure authentication and integrity of the constructed scheme. By using this signature algorithm, usage reports are verified in real time. Extensive simulations demonstrate that our scheme outperforms other data aggregation schemes.
