Access control and protection of telemetry signals using attribute-based encryption

A computer program product comprising one or more computer readable storage media having program instructions collectively stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, the program instructions executable to:

• receive, at a telemetry backend, a request for telemetry data from a user, the request including an attribute-based encryption (ABE) ciphertext associated with the user;
• attempt to decrypt the ABE ciphertext using plural different ABE decryption keys;
• successfully decrypt the ABE ciphertext using a respective one of the plural different ABE decryption keys;
• and
• based on the successfully decrypting the ABE ciphertext using the respective one of the plural different ABE decryption keys, provide the user with access to telemetry data stored in a respective one of plural storage partitions associated with the respective one of the plural different ABE decryption keys, wherein the telemetry data stored in the respective one of plural storage partitions includes the telemetry data requested by the user.

A system comprising:

• a processor set, one or more computer readable storage media, and program instructions collectively stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, the program instructions executable to:
• receive, at a telemetry backend, a request for telemetry data from a user, the request including an attribute-based encryption (ABE) ciphertext associated with the user;
• attempt to decrypt the ABE ciphertext using plural different ABE decryption keys;
• successfully decrypt the ABE ciphertext using a respective one of the plural different ABE decryption keys;
• and
• based on the successfully decrypting the ABE ciphertext using the respective one of the plural different ABE decryption keys, provide the user with access to telemetry data stored in a respective one of plural storage partitions associated with the respective one of the plural different ABE decryption keys, wherein the telemetry data stored in the respective one of plural storage partitions includes the telemetry data requested by the user.
