What is Attribute-Based Encryption?

Attribute-Based Encryption (ABE) is a form of public-key encryption in which access to encrypted data depends on descriptive attributes associated with users or data, rather than on individual user identities or simple key possession. Expanded Explanation 1. Technical Function and Core Characteristics ABE is a cryptographic primitive in which encryption and decryption use access structures defined over attributes such as roles, organizational units, or data classifications. It operates in two

What we add

Graph

A glossary entry defines a term and stops there. It doesn't show where the term is actually being used or written about. We track and link every article that covers it.

Counted facts

A dictionary definition doesn't say how often a term is actually used. This counts it across the graph -- articles that mention it, open source projects tagged with it, and the organizations tagged with it, listed here alongside the count. A term has no peer companies, and nothing here claims otherwise.
