Abstract
A master public key is generated as a first set of lattices based on a set of attributes, along with a random vector. A master secret key is generated as a set of trap door lattices corresponding to the first set of lattices. A user secret key is generated for a user's particular set of attributes using the master secret key. The user secret key is a set of values in a vector that are chosen to satisfy a reconstruction function for reconstructing the random vector using the first set of lattices. Information is encrypted to a given set of attributes using the user secret key, the given set of attributes and the user secret key. The information is decrypted by a second user having the given set of attributes using the second user's secret key.
