Abstract

Distributed Hash Tables (DHT) are a common architecture for decentralized data management. However, currently existing DHTs allow every participant to access any index. To build secure applications, we need to control this access. In this paper, we present k-rAC, a fine-grained access control for DHTs. It allows to specify and enforce different access rights for each individual data item in the presence of attackers and up to $k$ subverted participants. Our approach can be tailored towards different thread levels and usage scenarios by adapting k and by choosing one of three authentication mechanisms that we provide.
