ADVANCED APPROACH FOR SECURE RETRIEVAL OF DATA IN DISRUPTION TOLERANT MILITARY NETWORKS

Communication nodes in military environments such as a battleground regions are likely to suffer from connectivity issues in various locations in a battle field. Disruption-tolerant network (DTN) technologies are becoming promising solutions that allow wireless devices which the soldiers carry to communicate with each other and access the confidential information Some of the most facing issues in this area is the enforcement of Authorization policies and the policies update for secure data retrieval. Cipher text-policy attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE) is a powerful cryptographic solution to the access control issues in a secure environment. However, the problem of applying CPABE in decentralized in this paper we solve the issue of security and privacy challenges such as key escrow, attribute revocation and coordination of attributes issued by different authorities. We demonstrate how to apply the proposed mechanism to securely and efficiently manage the confidential data by providing unique security measure using certificates by protecting the systems used and authorizing the system network
