>>> (master_secret_key, master_public_key) = dabe.authsetup(public_parameters, auth_attrs)
Setup a user and give him some keys

authsetup(GP, attributes)[source]

Authority Setup for a given set of attributes

decrypt(gp, sk, ct)[source]

Decrypt a ciphertext SK is the user’s private key dictionary {attr: { xxx , xxx }}

encrypt(gp, pk, M, policy_str)[source]

Encrypt

group = None

Prime order group

keygen(gp, sk, i, gid, pkey)[source]

Create a key for GID on attribute i belonging to authority sk sk is the private key for the releveant authority i is the attribute to give bob pkey is bob’s private key dictionary, to which the appropriate private key is added
