Abstract

This paper addresses one aspect ofthe problem of access control in a hierarchy.A general scheme is describedwhich allows a user to generate from hisown key the keys of users below him inthe hierarchy. Two implementations ofthis scheme are then proposed andcompared in terms of security andefficiency to an existing one.
