An Information Protection Scheme Based upon Number Theory
Institute of Applied Mathematics, College of Science and Engineering, National Chung Hsing University, Taichung, Taiwan 400, Republic of China
We propose a new mechanism that fulfils the requirements of a single key-lock (SKL for short) information protection system. Using our method, each user is given a key, each file a lock, and an operation on the key of a user with the lock of a file yields the user's access privilege on the secured file.
