description In e-health systems, patients encrypt their personal health data for privacy purposes and upload them to the cloud. There exists a need for sharing patient health data with doctors for healing purposes in one’s own preferred order. To achieve this fine-gained access control to delegation paths, some researchers have designed a new proxy re-encryption (PRE) scheme called autonomous path proxy re-encryption (AP-PRE), where the delegator can control the whole delegation path in a multi-hop delegation process. In this paper, we introduce a certificateless autonomous path proxy re-encryption (CLAP-PRE) using multilinear maps, which holds both the properties (i.e., certificateless, autonomous path) of certificateless encryption and autonomous path proxy re-encryption. In the proposed scheme, (a) each user has two public keys (user’s identity and traditional public key) with corresponding private keys, and (b) each ciphertext is first re-encrypted from a public key encryption (PKE) scheme to an identity-based encryption (IBE) scheme and then transformed in the IBE scheme. Our scheme is an IND-CPA secure CLAP-PRE scheme under the <i>k</i>-multilinear decisional Diffie–Hellman (<i>k</i>-MDDH) assumption in the random oracle model.
