Rabe

rabe is a rust library implementing several Attribute Based Encryption (ABE) schemes using a modified version of the bn library of zcash (type-3 pairing / Baretto Naering curve). The modification of bn brings in serde instead of the deprecated rustc_serialize.

This is a rust crate and comes with C bindings. For integration in distributed applications head over to rabe-keyserver, which wraps rabe in a standalone REST API webserver.

Building rabe

In order to compile and test:

  • install rust nightly
  • git clone library
  • install build-essential
  • and then run 'cargo build && RUST_BACKTRACE=1 cargo test -- --nocapture'

In order to run on the console use

  • target/debug/rabe

For example, in order to create msk and pk of an AC17 KP-ABE scheme run:

$ ./target/debug/rabe --scheme AC17KP setup

To compile the C testfile:

gcc test.c -lrabe -L./target/debug -o test

To encrypt a testfile in debug:

cargo run -- --scheme BSW encrypt --file testfile.txt --policy "{ \"OR\": [ { \"ATT\": \"test1\"}, {\"ATT\": \"test2\"} ] }"

To decrypt a testfile in debug:

cargo run -- --scheme BSW decrypt --public\ key pk.rkey --file testfile.txt.rct --secret\ key sk.rkey
