Abstract
Many methods based on cryptography have been proposed to solve the problem of access control in hierarchic structures. However, these schemes are only used in symmetric (or one-key) cryptosystems. In this article, we propose a new multilevel access control scheme for a totally-ordered hierarchy that can be used in asymmetric (or two-key) cryptosystem. It is well known that there are two main advantages in asymmetric cryptography: key distribution and authentication. Our scheme is, to our best knowledge, the first to be used as an asymmetric cryptosystem.
