I could not understand one step in correctness proof of paper titled "A tree-based CP-ABE scheme with hidden policy supporting secure data sharing in cloud computing" authored by Runhua Xu, Yang Wang, Bo Lang.

Link to paper: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/271482056_A_Tree-Based_CP-ABE_Scheme_with_Hidden_Policy_Supporting_Secure_Data_Sharing_in_Cloud_Computing

Please refer the screenshot attached. Specifically, I could not understand the move from step 3 to step 4 in which they replaced one of the denominator (highlighted in screenshot).

I will be very grateful if someone can help me understand this move. Many thanks in advance.enter image description hereenter image description hereenter image description hereenter image description here

    Sir, these are random elements in group G. I missed adding link to the paper. It is available at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/271482056_A_Tree-Based_CP-ABE_Scheme_with_Hidden_Policy_Supporting_Secure_Data_Sharing_in_Cloud_Computing. – user60588 Jan 27 '19 at 17:37

    Sir, I saw two very good reference papers from you on same area. But I could not find their soft copies. If possible, request you to kindly share them (bakshi.puneet@gmail.com). (1) An efficient and secure data sharing in Smart Grid: Ciphertext-policy attribute-based signcryption. (2) An Efficient and Secure Attribute-Based Signcryption Scheme for Smart Grid Applications – user60588 Jan 27 '19 at 17:44
