Abstract With the diversification of electronic devices, cloud-based services have
become the link between different devices. As a cryptosystem with secure conversion
function, proxy re-encryption enables secure sharing of data in a cloud environment.
Proxy re-encryption is a public key encryption system with ciphertext security conversion
function. A semi-trusted agent plays the role of ciphertext conversion, which can convert
the user ciphertext into the same plaintext encrypted by the principal’s public key. Proxy
re-encryption has been a hotspot in the field of information security since it was proposed
