In this work, we provide the first construction of Attribute-Based

Encryption (ABE) for general circuits. Our construction is based on

the existence of multilinear maps. We prove selective security of

our scheme in the standard model under the natural multilinear

generalization of the BDDH assumption. Our scheme achieves both

Key-Policy and Ciphertext-Policy variants of ABE.
