A fine-grained access control scheme based on Attribute-Based Encryption (ABE) was proposed to satisfy the demands for the protection of personal privacy in social network. The scheme realized the description for different granularity of members in social network through the setting of the property, which is the basis for the fine-grained encryption and access control. In particular, a proxy server was introduced to judge the relationship between the unauthorized members and authorized members. If the unauthorized members were judged to have the access rights, the key generation center would generate private keys for them based on ABE. The scheme achieved the transitivity of the access rights. Compared with other privacy protection methods based on access control or encryption technique, the proposed scheme combined access control with encryption and realized encryption and fine-grained access control at the same time.
