1985 An Optimal Algorithm for Assigning Cryptographic Keys to Control Access in a Hierarchy
abstract
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.

1983 New Key Generation Algorithms for Multilevel Security
abstract
This paper addresses one aspect of the problem of access control in a hierarchy. A general scheme is described which allows a user to generate from his own key the keys of users below him in the hierarchy. Two implementations of this scheme are then proposed and compared in terms of security and efficiency to an existing one.
