description Advances in information technology have made data accessible anytime and anywhere. Currently, data confirmation is a popular area of research. Many current approaches to data confirmation rely on submitting certificates of ownership, embedding digital watermarks, or using blockchain. However, none of these approaches can avoid exposing source data to third parties that are not fully trusted. To address this issue, this paper proposes a new data confirmation method based on ciphertext policy attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE), which is widely used in cloud storage environments. The unique identifier of the data owner is encrypted by Paillier encryption and embedded into the ciphertext, so that the ownership corresponding to the plaintext is converted to the ownership corresponding to the ciphertext. During the entire confirmation process, third-party organizations cannot access the source data, reducing the risk of source data leakage. Finally, the feasibility of the scheme is proved by security proof and experiment comparison.
