Two-Party Attribute-based Key Agreement Protocol in the Standard Model.

We present a new two-party attribute-based key agreement protocol that is secure without the random oracle model in groups equipped with a bilinear map. The attribute-based key agreement scheme is one type of the identity-based key agreement scheme, in which the identity can be viewed as a set of descriptive attributes. These kinds of schemes provide some new properties, such as hiding the identity information of the individual, increasing the flexibility of key management, and providing efficient means to revoke users from the system.
