DEEP TECH NEWS: How ‘attribute-based encryption’ preserves privacy at a fined-grained level

The Last Watchdog

Enter attribute-based encryption ( ABE ) an advanced type of cryptography that’s now ready for prime time. Customized decryption ABE builds upon digital certificates and the Public Key Infrastructure ( PKI ) that underpins secure communications across the Internet. Here are my takeaways. I’ll keep watch and keep reporting.
