โฆ Synopsis
Access control is one of the mechanisms for data protection in a computer system. Many literaturee besed on cryptography have been proposed to solve the problem of access control in hierarchic structurea. Recently, Liaw and Lei proposed an optimal heuristic algorithm for multilevel data security. But, their heuristic algorithm can only be used in a tree structure, which it is a special cese of a partially-ordered hierarchy. In this article, we present 8 modification of their algorithm that enables the algorithm to be used in a partially-ordered structure.

## Recently, Wu and Chang and Shen and Chen separately proposed a cryptographic key assignment scheme for solving access control problem in a partially ordered user hierarchy. However, this paper will show the security leaks inherent in both schemes based on polynomial interpolations. That is, the u
