Attribute-based encryption (**ABE**) is a type of **public key encryption** that allows *access control* over encrypted data based on attributes associated with users and the data itself. It enables *fine-grained access control*, meaning that decryption is only possible if the user's attributes match the access policies defined during encryption.
