A cryptographic scheme for controlling access to information within a group of users organized in a hierarchy was proposed in [1]. The scheme enables a user at some level to compute from his own cryptographic key the keys of the users below him in the organization.

Index Terms:

partially ordered set, Access control, canonical assignment, cooperative attack, cryptographic key, hierarchy, key generation algorithm
