Abstract

Hierarchical access control is an important and traditional problem in information security. In 2001, Wu et.al. proposed an elegant solution for hierarchical access control by the secure-filter. Jeng and Wang presented an improvement of Wu et. al.'s method by the ECC cryptosystem. However, secure-filter method is insecure in dynaminc access control. Lie, Hsu and Tripathy, Paul pointed out some secure leaks on the secure-filter and presented some improvements to eliminate these secure flaws. In this paper, we revise the secure-filter in Jeng-Wang method and propose another secure solutions in hierarchical access control problem. CA is a super security class (user) in our proposed method and the secure-filter of uiu_i in our solutions is a polynomial of degree ni+1n_i+1 in Zp\mathbb{Z}_p^*, fi(x)=(xhi)(xa1)...(xani)+Lli(Ki)f_i(x)=(x-h_i)(x-a_1)...(x-a_{n_i})+L_{l_i}(K_i). Although the degree of our secure-filter is larger than others solutions, our solution is secure and efficient in dynamics access control.
