Efficient Access Control for Video Anomaly Detection Using ABE-Based User-Level Revocation with Ciphertext and Index Updates

With the widespread deployment of video surveillance systems, effective access control is essential to enhance the accuracy and security of video anomaly detection. This paper proposes a Searchable and Revocable Attribute-Based Encryption scheme (ABE-RS) that is specifically designed for dynamic video anomaly detection scenarios. By integrating a user management tree structure, attribute-based key distribution, and keyword grouping techniques, the proposed scheme enables efficient user-level revocation along with dynamic updates to ciphertexts and keyword indexes. Furthermore, an inverted index structure is introduced to accelerate keyword search, facilitating the rapid detection and retrieval of anomalous video events. Formal security analysis demonstrates that the scheme is secure against chosen plaintext attacks (CPAs) and chosen keyword attacks (CKAs). The experimental results demonstrate that the scheme maintains millisecond-level revocation efficiency in methodology involving 512 users and either 50 attributes or a thousand keywords.
