Abstract

This paper analyses the efficiency of user and resource-based hierarchies for read access control in cloud. It is shown that resource-based hierarchies are more efficient than user-based hierarchies in terms of communication and computation costs, when considering dynamic operations such as extending read authorization and user revocation.
